packet size

I get timeouts from my Linksys WMP11 when copying files larger than around
100KB.  I am testing using WebDAV and Samba, from two different Windows
systems (98 and 2k); these systems are connected to the LAN both wireless
(via BEFW11S4) and wired.  To produce the errors, I must use the wi0
interface on the FreeBSD system, but no other factors seem to be involved.

I get the following console error:
wi0: oversized packet received

Thanks for any ideas.  See settings below.

Note: wi0 and rl0 (the NIC) have never both been mapped to TCP/IP at any one
time.  That is, the IP address 192.168.1.12 is the only one in use on this
machine.  When I test over the wired connection, wi0 is not mapped to any IP
address, but rl0 uses 192.168.1.12.
