This is not the 10.4.10 update problem.


Every few second, the WiFi connection 'hangs' for a few seconds. This goes on 'forever'. A reboot will fix it to the next time. I'm quite sure it's because of a suspend (closing lid)...

Note ping number 0 and 1 and then ping number 2 to 4 (after which it starts all over)...

Two questions here. Either: How do I fix this. Second (because I will asume it have something to do with the driver, in which case I can't do much) is 'how do I unload and then load the WiFi driver again? Just turning off AirPort won't work...

Actually, a semi-third question: If the driver isn't initializing the card propperly, is there a way to do a 'hardware reset' on the card only?


The whole exersize here is to NOT have to reboot 🙂


My experience is with Linux, not *BSD so i'd appreciate any pointers...
