Re: wi polling (Firmware update?)

I AM getting:

Mar  2 21:51:46 atevi kernel: wi0: tx failed, retry limit exceeded
Mar  2 21:53:28 atevi kernel: wi0: tx failed, retry limit exceeded
Mar  2 21:56:48 atevi kernel: wi0: tx failed, retry limit exceeded
Mar  2 21:57:31 atevi kernel: wi0: tx failed, retry limit exceeded
Mar  2 21:57:32 atevi kernel: wi0: tx failed, retry limit exceeded

once I set hw.wi.txerate to -1.  Is this bad?  I just recently (today)
started having trouble communicating between my osx mac and Freebsd AP.  I
don't use wireless terribly often, so I'm not sure how long it's been
like--it was definitely working faster and fine >2 weeks ago (I've built
world a couple times since then [running current]).

I'm getting lots of packet loss doing pings, and file transfers are ~100KB/s

thanks much,
Scott
