Hello,

I have the following network configuration in my test network:

0----------[router A] ------ wireless link -------[router B] ----------0
|							|	
10.10.1.1	       				      10.10.2.1

On both routers I am running Bering RC3 (http://leaf.sourceforge.net) which
is based on an older version of Debian. It runs the 2.4.18 kernel and is
modified to use glibc-2.2.5.  

The wireless link is secured with WEP and FreeS/WAN 1.97.

I compiled and installed the pcmcia-cs-3.1.34 package which comes with the
0.11b version of the orinoco drivers.

When the two routers are up and I ftp a large file (600MB) from 10.10.2.1 to
10.10.1.1 on router A I see thousands of messages that look like "eth1:
Error -5 writing packet to BAP" on the console as well as in the logs.  

The wireless cards are both Orinoco Gold cards in a PCMCIA-to-ISA bridge.

The file seems arrives correctly but I'm wondering what this message means?

Thanks for any help,

Mike
