getting TX errors in wifi0 interface
Hello,
While using D-Link DWL-G520 PCI wireless card as a wireless access point
using Madwifi driver on Debian Etch, kernel 2.6.17, I notice that wifi0
interface is showing some errors:
~# ifconfig wifi0
wifi0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr <address here>
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:40489 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 frame:51422

~# ifconfig ath0
ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr <address here>

collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:2445456 (2.3 MiB) TX bytes:125471425 (119.6 MiB)
and as shown, ath0, the wireless device, is working okay. Should I be
worried about the errors shown by wifi0?
The PCI wireless card is listed as:
01:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212
802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
thanks,
