[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi. I have a box running 5.3-RELEASE and have a Linksys WMP11 prism2.5 card. A couple of weeks ago, I had noticed lots of wi0: device timeout errors in my dmesg, and decided to finally do something about it. So, I ended up sticking the card in a windows machine and upgrading the firmware to the following: wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.0), Station (1.4.2) This fixed the device timeout errors (which caused the entire card to lock up until a reboot), but then I started seeing lots of the following in my dmesg: wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 13d/0 ...repeat 15 times... wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 13d/0 wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x010b; event status 0xa000 wi0: xmit failed wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 128/0 ...repeat 3 times... wi0: record read mismatch, rid=fd4f, got=fd43 wi0: record read mismatch, rid=fd43, got=fd4f ...repeat 10 times I notice I only have problems when I start using high-traffic applications such as P2P apps. Now, I cannot even do a wicontrol(8) to check signal strength; all I get is "SIOCGWAVELAN: Input/output error", but the card otherwise works fine. I've googled all over for what causes these problems and what can be done to possibly rectify them. I'm also looking for a way to fix the wicontrol problem without a reboot every time. Thanks for your time (a long post, I know), -Dan -- Dan Ponte http://www.theamigan.net/ When asked by an anthropologist what the Indians called America before the white men came, an Indian said simply "Ours." -- Vine Deloria, Jr. [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD4DBQFCITfK8dUD8SpKFR8RAu0oAKDj/KgCOc8lz3H+IsP9LaTVq5h5QwCXfOOJ GZwxFEOub2UEl4BKw1+4gA== =/3Pq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
