Hi,
 I posted a message "Netgear MA311 failures" a few months ago. The
advice here was to upgrade the firmware on my card. I didn't have access
to a windows machine until today.

 I have today upgraded the firmware to 1.5.6 on my MA311 (the card in
the FreeBSD 5.0 box working as an AP), and the MA401 (the card in my
laptop).

 I continue to see messages about dropped packets.

Aug 14 20:36:12 base kernel: ether_input: drop bdg packet, bif 0x5
Aug 14 20:41:07 base kernel: ether_input: drop bdg packet, bif 0x5
Aug 14 20:41:52 base kernel: ether_input: drop bdg packet, bif 0x5
Aug 14 20:52:51 base last message repeated 4 times
Aug 14 21:03:09 base last message repeated 5 times


 I set both sides to 1MB transfer rate, turned off WEP, and only have
about 8 meters distance between machines.

 Any advice?

Thanks,
