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 22:40:10 laptop /kernel: wi0: xmit failed Dec 26 22:40:15 laptop /kernel: wi0: device timeout Dec 26 22:40:15 laptop /kernel: wi0: tx buffer allocation failed Dec 26 22:40:53 laptop /kernel: wi0: xmit failed Dec 26 22:40:58 laptop /kernel: wi0: device timeout Dec 26 22:40:58 laptop /kernel: wi0: tx buffer allocation failed Dec 26 23:03:55 laptop /kernel: wi0: xmit failed Dec 26 23:04:00 laptop /kernel: wi0: device timeout Dec 26 23:04:00 laptop /kernel: wi0: tx buffer allocation failed Dec 26 23:12:20 laptop /kernel: wi0: xmit failed Dec 26 23:12:26 laptop /kernel: wi0: device timeout Dec 26 23:12:26 laptop /kernel: wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC Dec 26 23:12:26 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?
