Bug#291684: orinoco.c: Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP
Package: kernel-source-2.6.10
Version: 2.6.10-4
Severity: important
Hi,
I'm seeing the "Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP" bug as
described in FAQ at http://ozlabs.org/people/dgibson/dldwd/ about once
every other day. orinoco.c prints to the syslog at such a rate, that the
system becomes completely unresponsive and I have to reboot. The lspci
output for the chip is:
0000:02:0b.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan
chipset (rev 01)
Subsystem: AMBIT Microsystem Corp.: Unknown device 0201

Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 9

Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-
Updating to version 0.15rc2 of the driver (which the author considers
stable but doesn't have time to submit to mainline) fixes the problem.
Including the new driver in testing is probably too much hassle, but
maybe it's worthwhile for stable.
Regards,
Georg
