I was sleapilly typing away from my laptop when my wireless LAN connection
hung. The other end, a dual P3 system using a generic ISA->PCMCIA adapter
and an Orinoco Silver v6.06 card had gone crazy. I don't know if the
whole system was locked up or not but removing the Orinoco card and
re-inserting fixed the wireless LAN.
I pulled the card after 75 seconds, so perhaps some sort of watchdog
might have jumped in and reset it later. Still though, 60,000 messages in
75 seconds seems a little overkill. I can't imagine the rest of the
machine would have remained very responsive.
Lemme know if you need any more info.
Thanks, Ryan
