You can try different settings on the card, like if you're using channel 'auto', try picking a specific channel and see if it persists. Also may want to try 2.0 as it has a much newer FreeBSD base and its ath driver may not suffer from whatever problem you're encountering. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
