|
I have a notebook with both regular (realtek) and wireless NICs.
The problem is that from the very first step of the installation process as soon as I enable the wireless NIC I keep receiving the following messages in my log:
| Quote: | eth1:Error -110 writing packet header to BAP
eth1:Error -110 writing packet header to BAP
eth1:Error -110 writing packet header to BAP
eth1:Error -110 writing packet header to BAP
eth1:Error -110 writing packet header to BAP
eth1:Tx error, status 4 (FID=00AF)
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
eth1: Tx timeout! Resetting the card. |
Quick look at /proc/interrupts shows something like this:
| Code: |
CPU0
0: 923690 XT-PIC timer
1: 1107 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
9: 22 XT-PIC acpi

18: 0 XT-PIC Texas Instruments PCI1410 PC card Cardbus Controller
NMI: 0

MIS: 0

The number in ERR usually increases by one right after I get next warning like the one above. After about a minute of inactivity network connection is back to normal.
Needless to say a connection that drops and resets every five minutes is no joy at all.
Also, as you notice, nothing was enabled besides the Cardbus bridge (no i845 sound, no built-in USB hubs - I have 2 of those, no IrLAN ...) because when I try to enable sound and other bells it just gets worse - I start to get other error messages (like "devfs(-1) cannot register divece" or something).
Any hints?
(by the way, the same notebook works fine under Debian - no connection resets or drops, same is true for Mandrake - smooth connection, no matter what. So I would assume that the problem is very Gentoo-specific.) |
