I had the same problem some time back and asked about it here. I was simply told that the driver was extremely buggy and that the original author wanted no part in fixing it. At one point I believe I saw mention of a volunteer who was going to fix it but that was the last I heard. If you can use another card I'd recommend it. Check the FreeBSD home page for a list of cards with more reliable drivers.... Good luck! -Dave
