I'm getting transmission time-outs on my CardBus network device, as shown
below.
My PCMCIA/CardBus support is built into the kernel. Although the info
shown below was generated by a 3CCFE575BT, I get the same behavior when
using a 3Com 3CXFEM656C.
I have been seeing this same behavior for years, previously with kernel
v2.2.x and the pcmcia-cs code seperate, and now kernel 2.4.x with the
pcmcia code integrated. Now, with all those different code revisions and
the problem still remaining you might suspect that it is a hardware
conflict. If that's the case, then why is this same hardware problem-free
in Win98 (I have a dual-boot machine)?
This problem is very reproducable. I can't state a sequence of steps to
reproduce it, but I can generate as many errors loggings as you'd like just
by using the device. Please let me know what further info is needed to get
this problem fixed.
Thank you.
