orinoco_pci and error -110 flood

Hello,

Im using kernel 2.4.19 with a linksys pci wireless
adaptor.  This is a true pci card so Ive been trying
to get the orinoco_pci driver to work.  I have only
this card and a laptop, so Ive been using Ad-Hoc mode.
 Basically things work fine until the bandwidth is
saturated for a short period of time.. sometimes only
seconds.

Here is what I get in the logs:

Aug  4 23:36:27 zeus kernel: eth2: error -110 reading
Rx descriptor. Frame dropped.
Aug  4 23:36:27 zeus kernel: eth2: Error -110 writing
packet header to BAP
Aug  4 23:36:27 zeus kernel: eth2: Error -110 writing
Tx descriptor to BAP

Aug  4 23:37:59 zeus last message repeated 61719 times
Aug  4 23:39:00 zeus last message repeated 61570 times

Ive seen others complain about this, but they seem to
be using the orinoco_cs driver instead.  Ive seen no
firmware updates for this card; also it works fine in
a windows box.  Ive tried using different channels and
speeds without any changes in the problem.  Ive also
used iwconfig v24 and v25b8.
