ath0 weak connectivity

[Radu Adrian Zdrinca]

I'm sorry that I don't have freebsd on my system to do more testing
but I'm pretty sure it's the ath0 interface that's causing the issue.
When the interface is down limewire starts normally but when it's up
it takes about 3 minutes to load. I have tried upgrading to stable but
it's still the same issue. I will try to reinstall to do some more
testing.
