There is FreeBSD8 system (cvsup`ed and recompiled kernel on PC-BSD system). Noteboot asus a3l with intel PRO wireless 2915 card. Wireless 802.11a network with WPA2 protection. I configure my system as following (rc.conf): dhclient_flags="-c /etc/dhclient.conf" synchronous_dhclient="YES" ifconfig_rl0="DHCP" ifconfig_iwi0="up" wlans_iwi0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP bmiss 200 roaming auto" hostname="asus-a3l" Problem: After long idle (about 50 minutes) iwi driver timed out without reason. If I have permanently working ping utility driver work well. But as I turn it off it timed out: Mar 15 03:50:28 asus-a3l kernel: iwi0: timeout waiting for (null) firmware initialization to complete Mar 15 03:50:28 asus-a3l kernel: iwi0: could not load boot firmware (null) Mar 15 03:50:28 asus-a3l kernel: iwi0: timeout waiting for (null) firmware initialization to complete Mar 15 03:50:28 asus-a3l kernel: iwi0: could not load boot firmware (null) Mar 15 03:50:28 asus-a3l kernel: wlan0: Ethernet address: 00:12:f0:24:b2:fd Mar 15 03:50:28 asus-a3l kernel: iwi0: need multicast update callback Mar 15 03:50:28 asus-a3l last message repeated 6 times Mar 15 03:50:28 asus-a3l kernel: ipfw2 (+ipv6) initialized, divert loadable, nat loadable, rule-based forwarding disabled, default to deny, logging disabled Mar 15 03:50:32 asus-a3l kernel: pcm0: <Intel ICH4 (82801DB)> port 0xe000-0xe0ff,0xe100-0xe13f at device 31.5 on pci0 Mar 15 03:50:32 asus-a3l kernel: pcm0: [ITHREAD] Mar 15 03:50:32 asus-a3l kernel: pcm0: <Avance Logic ALC650 AC97 Codec> Mar 15 03:50:34 asus-a3l ntpd[1588]: ntpd 4.2.4p5-a (1) Mar 15 03:50:42 asus-a3l avahi-daemon[1900]: WARNING: No NSS support for mDNS detected, consider installing nss-mdns!

What can I do to force my system works correctly?
