I have an older model of the model mentioned in the subject line, and
it loses its wireless connection every few days, requiring a reboot to
bring it back. This has happened since I had the machine, starting
with FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE, though I've since upgraded a couple of
times, and am now at 9.1-RELEASE
Is there any info out there on what I can do to keep the connection? I
don't use the machine heavily - it sits on my nightstand for light web
browsing before I sleep, mostly, so it's a bit annoying to have to
reboot before I can get to the web.
Here's what info I'm able to glean from the machine:
