| |
Hi,
I am using a orinoco wireless pcmcia card on 2.6.14-rc4. The driver works great but I just got a little problem.
Something wrong occured on my laptop (I don't know what) causing the orinoco driver to print wifi: Error -16 transmitting packet (wifi is the name of the interface).
The problem is that I got such a message each millisecond. This took 100% CPU, completely locking the box, until I removed the pcmcia card.
What I now see in /var/log/messages is:
hermes @ 00012100: Card removed while waiting for command 0x0011 completion. hermes @ 00012100: Card removed while waiting for command 0x0021 completion. printk: 4567 messages suppressed. printk: 4564 messages suppressed. nsmitting packet printk: 4566 messages suppressed. printk: 4603 messages suppressed. <3: Error -16 transmitting packet <nsmitting packet : Error -16 transmitting packet <: Error -16 transmitting packet
Actually, the card got removed _after_ all these messages. It was still supposed to be plugged when the "Card removed" messages appeared.
Is there any way to avoid this message flooding ? Or is this kind of error so rare that it is not worth doing it ?
