SubjectNetwork drivers - porting to 2.6 issues
Hi,
I have ported a wlan driver from 2.4 to 2.6.

I am referring to the porting article in lwn.net.


The driver works fine for sometime. after which data transfer
becomes very slow.


i have telnet to a remote machine. i do ls -Rl /

data transfer is ok to start with, then it becomes very slow.

also whatever i type on the shell prompt appears after a while.

This happens - sometimes it is faster and then slow. this goes on in a cycle.


Is there any difference between a 2.4 and 2.6 kernel network stack?.


I have changed registeration, changing task queues to work queues
and stuff like that.


am not sure if the network stack api's and thier meanings have changed.

is there anything i should watch out for?.


sometimes i do get : NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out


What does this mean?.


is there anything more i should watch out for?.

Regards,
sriram
