Hi Eric.
I have no loss connection on 11b only on 11g, so for the moment im keep working with a Athreos Wireless card on hostap in 11b connecting 34 clients, and really is working VERY well until I have lot of Ierrs and Oerrs and the ping to the client go from 2 ms to 1000 ms and all work very slow until the errors go down and is fast again.
I tried different AP and different wireless card and the Atheros wireless card even in 11b is faster than any comecial 11b AP, fixing the errors problem will be a very fast and strong AP.
I wish to know fix it, but Im don't know how, Im only can help testing. :(
Hmm - I wonder if you are losing packets when the device thinks the signal is weak, and it attempts to lower the connection speed to increase reliability. Maybe try forcing it down to a low speed (like 1mb/s or something?) and seeing if it continues to happen..
Maybe also try setting: sysctl hw.ath.debug=1 and watch your dmesg/messages for hints..

On a simpler yet related config, I have a linksys ag520 pci card running with a linksys a/b/g AP. IT occasionally just loses connectivity, but simply re-execing the ifconfig line brings it back. Haven't found a rhyme or reason yet.
I'd send this to the FBSD list, but I just moved server IP blocks and the reverse DNS stuff hasn't propagated yet.
I'm having the same problem - Sam knows about it (I've been annoying him for about a week and a half with info - sorry Sam!).. I think he may be working on it, but he may want more details from you.
One question - does it drop when in A, B, and G modes? Or just one mode? It seemed to me that my connection was better when using 11b mode (to a B/G ap). Just curious.
Also - is "shared" mode authentication ever going to work in FreeBSD? Does anyone know what the problem with it is?
