Hi Steve,
I have the same problem here (3c575 too, K6-2 too). Cardbus bridge TI1251B.
But I noticed that it nearly never occurs when I put my notebook in a cold room. Also, it occurs more often when I have transmitted lots of data and the notebook is hot. In my case, I believe it comes from the cardbus bridge not coping with the card speed. Perhaps under windows the card is underloaded and the bridge can keep cool ? but I definitely think it's a hardware problem first and perhaps the software can mask it.
If you want to reduce the penalty of these timeouts, you can put this line in your /etc/modules.conf : "options 3c59x watchdog=50". It prevents the card from hanging more than 50 ms. But take care of your syslog !
Regards, Willy
