?Question:


Why is your FreeBSD WiFi not starting or dropping off?

That sounds like it is a hardware issue not FreeBSD. Or bios setting 
maybe? Startx could be bad connection? Realtech nics can be a problem.

I live in the mountains of Hawaii and we have humidity issues that cause 
corrosion and as a result I HAVE TO CLEAN ALL MO BOARD AND NETWORK 
CONNECTIONS EVERY 6 MONTHS.

I also have experienced outside interference caused  by military 
equipment or neighbors with HAM radios also interferring with WiFi. I 
would not blame FreeBSD. I have Linux Unix and MS equipment here on WiFi 
and all os's will go down if there is interference.
