Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG crash on FreeBSD-8.3 i386

[Yuval Prag]

Hi Im looking for help and some more info on the subject.

the only post i found is from april 2008 the post suggests to add the
capability to the driver based on or copy from a different WiFi
NIC driver and it is not working still same error

the NIC hangs in a way ifconfig show IP address the and status =
associated,  a simple ping to the router works with intermittent failures
in the form of "sento: Network is down" and than it hangs usualy afte the
15th packet send... a restart the NIC device with "/etc/rc.d/netif restart"
will cause the system to reboot!

the driver version comes with the ISO DVD is v1.72, so I was looking for a
new version on the FreeBSD VCS and there is a rev 1.82 posted March 2012
but this one fail the make on line 437 " assignment from incompatible
pointer type" ??? is it due to the move away from gcc???

thanks for the time and help
Yuval
