I see no indication of rssi on freebsd or any statistics to show issues with lost packets. gentoo likely uses madwifi which uses the same hal (or older) than what is in freebsd. As such I'd expect no difference in operation wrt signal or link level behaviour.

On one link, approx. 3 km distance, I got no link with both sides FreeBSD, athstats reported rssi 6 when one side was changed to Linux with madwifi, and rssi 23 when both sides were Linux. I was forced to use Linux on all radio links due this. I would like to repeat this test indoor, but did not have time yet.
