Hello all,
Recently I puchased an Orinoco Gold PCMCIA card for my Thinkpad. I'm
running Debian unstable, with linux kernel 2.4.18. I have the latest
pcmcia-cs package, as well.
After compiling the right kernel package, I now have the laptop
recognizing the card. However, as soon as I insert it, I start getting
a slew of errors from the kernel, like this:
kernel: eth0: Tx error, status 4 (FID=01E2)
kernel: eth0: Tx error, status 4 (FID=01CE)
kernel: eth0: Tx error, status 4 (FID=01BA)
kernel: eth0: Tx error, status 4 (FID=01A6)
kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
kernel: eth0: Tx timeout! Resetting card.
Which repeats a few times, and then quits. I'm not able to see my
Orinoco RG-1000 gateway (which I can't configure because I can't see it
with my card, but I suspect that will resolve itself). I have done a
few web searched to see if anyone else has reported this, but haven't
found anything.
If anyone has any clues about what i should be doing differently, either
in kernel configuration, pcmcia setup, or what, I would be greatly
appreciative. Thanks all!
