kernel, modules and pcmcia developers.. here's a bug for you.. (i think..)

Hi,

My pcmcia stuff crashes every 4th hour. I have no idea why...
Sometimes it can work for 6 hours, sometimes only 2..
Is it the kernel ? The pcmcia ? The orinoco module, the machine itself or
what is it ?
The fun thing is that it works just fine until it suddenly just stops..

Basicly messages says this:

Aug 20 11:20:18 vonanka kernel: eth1: Undecryptable frame on Rx. Frame
dropped.
Aug 20 11:20:22 vonanka kernel: eth1: Oversized frame received (41489 bytes)

Aug 20 11:21:09 vonanka kernel: eth1: Error -16 writing packet header to BAP
Aug 20 11:21:09 vonanka last message repeated 306 times

Then it repeats this until i'm out of space on /var ..

....

What have I done wrong ?

I'm using kernel 2.4.7
pcmcia compiled as a module from the kernel
orinoco_cs compiled as modules from the kernel
It's a smb machine, dual p3 400 mhz
two pcmcia adapters
two radiocards orinoco 11mbit silver pcmcia on firmware 7.52

The other interface, eth2, who's there's no load on, works just fine though.
I also notised this, when I did iwconfig after it had crashed..

eth0      no wireless extensions.
