Not sure if others have run into this. I have a Dell Inspiron 3500 and
am using the Cabletron 802.11 RoamAbout PC-card. The wi driver recognizes
the card, initializes it, but when I set an IP address (or try using
dhclient) on interface wi0, then try to send data, I get the following:
Dec 26 22:39:44 laptop /kernel: wi0: device timeout
Dec 26 22:39:44 laptop /kernel: wi0: tx buffer allocation failed

Dec 26 23:12:26 laptop /kernel: wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC
Dec 26 23:12:26 laptop /kernel: wi0: mgmt. buffer allocation failed
From code inspection, it appears I can't get PC-card resident RAM
allocated.
This card works fine on Windows. I'm running 4.1-RELEASE. I've heard rumors
this works on 4.2. But I didn't see anything different in if_wi.c.
Any clues?
