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
