Today, my wireless link had some prolems. I wasn't doing anything
particular at that moment.

I got the following in my logfile:
Feb 16 13:25:59 beck kernel: ndis0: watchdog timeout
Feb 16 13:26:01 beck kernel: ndis0: failed to get bssid
Feb 16 13:26:01 beck kernel: ndis0: link down
Feb 16 13:26:34 beck kernel: ndis0: link up
Feb 16 14:39:39 beck kernel: ndis0: watchdog timeout
Feb 16 14:39:42 beck kernel: ndis0: failed to get bssid
Feb 16 14:39:42 beck kernel: ndis0: link down
Feb 16 14:40:09 beck kernel: ndis0: link up
Feb 16 14:45:42 beck kernel: ndis0: failed to get bssid
Feb 16 14:45:42 beck kernel: ndis0: link down
Feb 16 14:45:48 beck kernel: ndis0: link up

After each link down event, I had to manually reconfigure tha card.

The card is:
ndis0_at_pci2:3:0: class=0x028000 card=0x00011028 chip=0x432014e4 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device   = 'BCM4306(??) 802.11g Wireless NIC'
    class    = network

I'm running a FreeBSD 5 that is a couple of weeks old:
