Re: airport eth1, onboard eth0 & eth1 Tx error, status 1
On 17 May, this message from K Clark echoed through cyberspace:

DHCP... Hmmm...

I get these a lot; mabe BenH can explain what they mean? For me they
seem to indicate transmission errors, but are not indicative of
catastrophic failure :)
On the other hand, there seems to be a problem that certain packets lock
up the Airport card. I use intuitively myself to auto-configure network
settings in different environments, and usin it over Airport does find
the right network (i.e. some traffic got through), but then it' dead.
I have to remove the kernel modules for Airport, wait a few minutes, and
reinserting them makes the card work again.
If I remeber right, we've already had reports of other people with
problems to make Airport work together with DHCP...
As a temporary workaround, use a static IP...
Cheers
