For some time now I've been trying to get my SMC wireless cardbus[1]
with Ralink RT2600 chipset[2] to work on my laptop running OpenBSD 4.0
-stable but I keep getting 'ral0: device timeout'.
If I bring the device down and then up (sometimes I have to do this
several times) I finally get it to work. After that I don't get any more
'device timeout' until next reboot.
This is what ral(4) has to say about that error:
ral%d: device timeout A frame dispatched to the hardware for
transmission did not complete in time. The driver will reset the
hardware. This should not happen.
Unfortunately, it does happen. My question is, why? And what can i do to
remedy this?
I have a SMC pci-card[3] in the AP but I have not seen that problem there.
I enclose dmesg and ifconfig ral0 from client and ap.
