There have been some changes to the FreeBSD Aironet driver after FreeBSD
4.5 was released; at least one of them might fix this problem (although
I'd expect it to discard only one byte from the LLC header, not two
bytes; I may be missing something there, however).

That fix should be in FreeBSD 4.6, when it comes out, as it was MFC'ed. 
You might try upgrading to 4.6 when it comes out, or trying one of the
4.6 release candidates if you can.
