Intel 3945ABG - Horrible Signal

I have my wireless card working and it was very easy to set it up but the signal is horrible comparing it to Ubuntu. In the same essid Ubuntu gets 96% signal and FreeBSD gets 25% signal if I'm seating right next to the router.

Code: 
/boot/loader.conf:
	   if_wpi_load="YES"
	   wlan_load="YES"
	   wlan_amrr_load="YES"
	   firmware_load="YES"
	   wpifw_load="YES"
	   legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=1

P.S: The wireless does work. I can surf the web and such but the signal is so bad that if I take a couple of steps away I lose the signal.
 
Show us your output of
> ifconfig wpi0
and
> ifconfig wpi0 list scan

Maybe try setting
> ifconfig wpi0 txpower 50
 
And you have shown us the same amount of information.

Seriously, working crystal balls are in low supply. Only a minority of us can afford one. :p

Well the IWN driver is FreeBSD8 atm and it's not going to be released for quite awhile, I had quite abunch of issues with IWN driver.

Amongst the low signal I got hard locks and such, if you want to enjoy your wifi install OpenBSD4.4 thats where the iwn driver is being ported from :e
