>Description:
When sending large file (or group of files) from the wireless system
to another (tested with a 4.1-STABLE and a Solaris ssh 1.2.27 system),
a bunch of data appears to queue up (about 100 KB or so), and the
transfer hangs.
Eventually, the connection drops and aborts.
>How-To-Repeat:
This is a toughie.  Sometimes it works.  When it fails, repeating
the try will not get it to work.

scp -rp directory-of-100k-files remote-host.org:directory-of-100k-files
failed for me, but after doing the transfer with the wired ethernet,
then rebooting with the wireless card, now wireless works.
(Wireless has failed on this many times in the past, so this is not
a one time event.)
>Fix:
Unknown, but there do seem to be out of memory problems in dealing
with the wireless card at times.
Related?  I dunno.

Is this still a problem with more recent FreeBSD versions?  The wi
