I am using FreeBSD 9.1 with a TP-LINK TL-WN781ND WiFi card with Atheros AR9285 chipset. I set up the connection during the installation and it has worked fine until about a week ago.
It has just started dropping the connection about 10mins after every boot. Rebooting "solves" the issue. I'm writing this as quick as I can before I lose my connection again!
I get a kernel message
before every dropped connection.
my /etc/rc.conf contains
I have recently started using "ntpd" so I tried disabling it, but it didn't make any difference. I have looked at the part of the handbook about wireless. It says to add
to /boot/loader.conf, among many other things I haven't done: My connection has been working fine without these steps until know, so I thought I'd try the forums before complicating the problem by making more system changes.
Is some other device kicking me off my network or what?
