Well, I have some additional information on this problem.
It appears that when I configure the interface statically, it all works
fine. If I use DHCP to configure it (with pump), then I have the problem
below -- can't communicate to anywhere. I have to rmmod airport and
orinoco and then bring it up statically for it to work again.
I get the Tx errors whether it's configured statically or dynamically.
Only when it is configured statically can I actually communicate.

Hello,
I have a problem with my Apple Airport card in a PowerBook G4 400MHz:
I will load the module, use iwconfig to set my key, and then try to
start the normal DHCP process. The kernel logs these errors:
eth1: Tx error, status 4 (FID=01E3)
eth1: Tx error, status 4 (FID=01E3)
eth1: Tx error, status 4 (FID=01CF)
etc ...
I'm using kernel 2.2.18-ben0 with version 0.09b of airport.c and
orinoco.c. I found a message at
http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/wireless/2001-December/003534.html
that seems to include a patch for a related problem. Looking at the
source, it doesn't include the comments in that patch but seems
different enough that I can't tell quite whether or not it's been
patched. (I'm not at all an expert in these things)
I had previously been using a Wavelan Silver PCMCIA card with the
same configuration, and it worked fine. I have also tried an earlier
ben0 kernel and got the same results. The Airport card works fine in
MacOS
X.
Thanks,
John Goerzen
