Luigi,
I have similar problems, freezing and loosing lock on the access point
that is under the table the laptop is sitting on, although the later
has become better over time with various commits.
Especially the 'firmware loading problem' would be a nice thing to have
in RELENG_6. It would make me get rid of the ethernet cable in the
leaving room for times when the wifi connection cannot be restored and I
do not want to reboot the laptop.

I'm not arguing this; I just don't like to see changes back-merged w/o a
chance to settle. I've used this driver for a lot and not hit the same
issue you have. Clearly fixing the cause of the lockup is important but
it's also important to get to the root cause which appears to be
elsewhere and likely related to an unstable signal quality. I recall in
actually i don't think it is that - i am seeing the problem
even with the AP and the laptop in the same room.
Just to give a bit of context - my hardware is a Dell X1 laptop
with a 2200bg card operating at 2.4GHz, normally in G mode but
sometimes also with 11b access points.
The lockup occurred with a number of different APs (linksys WAG354,
digicom, hamlet, and another few unknown) and variable signal
strenghts (reporting anything from 34:0 to 85:0), with and without
other AP around).
your original comparison of HEAD against RELENG_6 you found some other
changes that hadn't been backported related to setting the receive
actually it was between the version of code before it was committed
to the tree (around jan 2006) and the one in the cvs now, and
it was for another bug i.e. the inability to retain the association
to a specific AP (digicom if i remember well).
sensitivity and bluetooth coexistence. You would do well to look at the
latest linux code (at sourceforge which leads code going into the
