Weird disconnect problems on 8.0-RELEASE

[Alex]

Hi. When attempting to use wireless at a friend's house I experience
trouble when trying to view some pages. Sites like youtube work
properly, but when navigating to other pages I get disconnected
from the access point. This effect is reproducible every time and
happens simply by going to Opera and hitting "Refresh" on that specific
page:

Refresh the trouble-causing page:
Mar 16 09:50:26 orion wpa_supplicant[82762]: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED -
Disconnect event - remove keys

And then after a few seconds it reconnects and stays connected. This
behavior does not exist on a wired connection. I have an RTL8192SE and
am using NDIS along with drivers supplied by Lenovo.

Does anyone know why this might be happening? All other wireless
devices work fine with the AP. Moreover, at my own house I have trouble
loading the same pages I do here at my friend's house.

Attached is the output from wireshark when the problem occurs.

For more help you may need to provide 80211 packets.

Hi Paul. I recall having a discussion with you about this earlier in
the year. Do I require special hardware in order to be able to capture
such packets, or can I get them directly from Wireshark?

I do not recall having this problem in the 7.x days.

You could downgrade to 7.2 and make sure that it is working properly.

and if_ndis files, the best interface for that is using freebsd git
