Since upgrading to FreeBSD 6.2 and installing another wireless adsl
router, I've been having problems with my wifi-connection getting
dropped regularly, for example when idle for a given amount of time.

Here are my settings:

# ifconfig wi0
wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.1.102 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        ether 00:02:2d:a5:1b:07
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps)
        status: associated
        ssid SpeedTouchABF160 channel 1 bssid 00:14:7f:8a:74:e3
        stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node"
        authmode OPEN privacy MIXED deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:40-bit txpowmax
100
        bmiss 7 bintval 100

Any ideas what is going wrong and how it can be fixed?
