One of the machines noted below was upgraded to 4.6-Rel and I saw
the same wi errs/lockups during bulk transfers. This time I tried
disabling WEP between two hosts and all worked perfectly. Yeah, I
know that's probably the first thing I should've tried! I Xferred
several hundred megs with impunity. It seems the card bridges can
now be excluded as causative - it sounds like an ORiNOCO firmware
issue rather than driver but I may be wrong. At least now I know
a workaround. Woo hoo! :)

Subject: wi_seek errors

When doing bulk transfers (40-80 MB+) I see wi_seek errors on two
4.5-Rel boxen with differing motherboard/chipsets and card bridges:
ASUS CUWE-RM 500MHz, ORiNOCO PCI-Cardbus Bridge (TI PCI-1410)
EM Florida-TG 433MHz, ORiNOCO ISA-Cardbus Bridge (Vadem 469)
Eventually the interface fails. I see numerous postings of others
seeing the same errors. Has anyone pinned down the problem? All of
my ORiNOCO Gold cards are running the latest 8.10 firmware (one
person said upgrading to 8.10 fixed their system, perhaps I should
trying retroing to earlier 7.52 or 7.28 images? *impish grin*)
I also tried testing the wi drivers from -Stable but still see the
same errs. I've test pcic polling, explicit interrupts, etc, with
no success. I've attached condensed logs from one box showing the
results from all these runs, but the general pattern is ...
everything initializes properly
all is well (for hours/days/months) until you try a prolonged
xfer 40-80+ MB (e.g., backup of PC to server via Samba)
wi0:timeout in wi_seek to NNNN/NN; last status NNNN
[repeat a number of times]
wi0:xmit failed
[other nastygrams]
After that point the only way to get things working again is to
down/up the interface. I don't know how to interpret the NNNN/NN's
and so am stuck until more knowledgeable people provide assistance.
Thanks for any suggestions/feedback you can provide!
