I have a Lucent Orinoco 802.11b card (with latest firmware) running in an ISA<->PCMCIA adaptor on a box running 4.5-STABLE. I have found that - on rare occasion - the "wi" driver suddenly starts spazzing out, generating lots of errors like the following: Feb 24 12:52:57 ns /kernel: wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 1f6/0; last status 4000 Feb 24 12:52:57 ns /kernel: wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 1f6/44; last status 4044 Feb 24 12:52:57 ns /kernel: wi0: xmit failed ... Feb 25 11:34:56 ns /kernel: wi0: mgmt. buffer allocation failed Feb 25 11:39:36 ns /kernel: wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 0/0; last status 4000 Feb 25 11:39:36 ns /kernel: wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 0/44; last status 4044 Feb 25 11:39:36 ns /kernel: wi0: xmit failed Feb 25 11:41:55 ns /kernel: wi0: watchdog timeout Feb 25 11:41:55 ns /kernel: wi0: init failed Feb 25 11:41:55 ns /kernel: wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC Feb 25 11:41:55 ns /kernel: wi0: tx buffer allocation failed Feb 25 11:41:55 ns /kernel: wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC Feb 25 11:41:55 ns /kernel: wi0: mgmt. buffer allocation failed When this happens, all subsequent IP-level communication on the "wi0" interface ceases (although "netstat -i" reports that some layer-2 packets continue to be sent/received). Has anyone else seen this happen? Does anyone have a fix? Ross. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
