Im having  problems with a usb wifi card.
Once every 1 hour i need to unplug it and replug :-(
The card is:
port 5 addr 2: high speed, power 500 mA, config 1, USB2.0
WLAN(0x1211), ZyDAS(0x0ace), rev 48.10
Connected to:
addr 1: high speed, self powered, config 1, EHCI root hub(0x0000),
nVidia(0x0000), rev 1.00

The dmesg when connection brokes says:
zyd0: <ZyDAS USB2.0 WLAN, class 255/255, rev 2.00/48.10, addr 2> on uhub1
zyd0: HMAC ZD1211, FW 46.05, RF AL2230, PA 0, address 00:11:e2:07:1c:a0

zyd0: link state changed to UP
zyd0: zyd_read sleep timeout

zyd0: HMAC ZD1211, FW 46.05, RF AL2230, PA 0, address 00:11:e2:07:1c:a0

And I start the netif form rc.conf:
ifconfig_zyd0="WPA DHCP"

Any help sill be really appreciated.
