I guess I've "jumped the gun" on this one as the issue has resurfaced
after a week and a half.
FWIW, when the issue occurs, the drivers "goes" OACTIVE. The
following is the output of ifconfig when the issue occurred and then
after the issue was "resolved."
$ ifconfig ral0
ral0: flags=8c43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,OACTIVE,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

Any thoughts... or anyone know of a 802.11g card/driver combination
with that legendary wi reliability?

I have since replaced the 2560 card with a 2661 and it has been
running fairly well for a week. Whether this is an issue with the
2500 card or the driver though, I'm not certain.
Cheers.
