when my hawking tech 802.11b card gets heavily loaded (tar | bzip2 >
nfs_file) i see these errors repeated at a very high rate:
--- Apr 7 02:41:01 density kernel: eth0: Information frame lost. Apr 7 02:41:01 density kernel: eth0: Information frame lost. Apr 7 02:41:01 density kernel: eth0: Information frame lost.

Apr 7 02:41:01 density kernel: eth0: Information frame lost. --- then it eventually, in this case after 40 minutes, turns to repeating this at a slower rate: --- Apr 7 02:41:03 density kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out Apr 7 02:41:03 density kernel: eth0: Tx timeout!

ALLOCFID=0000, TXCOMPLFID=0000, EVSTAT=0000 --- once this is scrolling, the keyboard ceases to respond. the mouse works in x, and i can close things, but i can't type or switch vt's. alt-sysrq does work though.i've probably been seeing this behavior since the 2.5.5x kernels, but that's probably when i got the wireless card.
this report is from the 2.5.66 kernel, but it looks the same as earlier kernels. i'm using the orinoco_cs module on debian unstable on my dell inspiron 3800.
i have not been able to reproduce the error with processes other than my tar | bzip2 > (nfs-mounted-file).
thanks. -- ____________________}John Flinchbaugh{______________________ | glynis@hjsoft.com http://www.hjsoft.com/~glynis/ | ~~Powered by Linux: Reboots are for hardware upgrades only~~
