I have had almost exactly same problems about year ago. Orinoco silver
stopped two times after 25 - 28 day working with freebsd current under
somewhat strong load. Even after reboot it didn't work anymore. I burned
two times new firmware and the card started to work again. The problem was
gone if I put this card at third time to another machine.
