Hi, I have a Linksys wireless card that uses the orinoco_cs pcmcia driver. The card works fine (for a while) and then I begin to get a huge number of errors in the syslog of the form:
Aug 31 11:15:35 hoth kernel: eth1: error -110 reading Rx descriptor. Frame dropped. Aug 31 11:15:35 hoth kernel: eth1: Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP Aug 31 11:15:36 hoth last message repeated 435 times Aug 31 11:15:36 hoth kernel: hermes @ IO 0x100: Timeout waiting for command completion. Aug 31 11:15:36 hoth kernel: hermes @ IO 0x100: Error -16 issuing command. Aug 31 11:15:36 hoth kernel: eth1: Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP Aug 31 11:15:36 hoth kernel: eth1: Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP I believe this is due to the driver rahter than an issue with the card itself as I had this occur with a friend's wireless card as well. I googled for this and found this post http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0211.2/0821.html which has an ugly workaround which also works for me. I wanted to know if anyone else has/had faced this problem and if there is a fix for this issue. Also, I'm using the pcmcia modules from the package kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.20-3-686. Would I be better served by using linux-wlan-ng drivers instead of the kernel drivers? TIA, sridhar
