Unlikely that it is a firmware issue, since I have seen the same errors on several different cards (including prism2 & Symbol cards). Never been able to get rid of it, I just don't transfer big files. Frustrating though since it can potentially require a forced reboot. -Tony }-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Chris Konger }Sent: Saturday, August 10, 2002 15:00 }To: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG }Cc: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu; imp@FreeBSD.ORG; nvalster@agere.com }Subject: wep and wi_seek errors } } }One of the machines noted below was upgraded to 4.6-Rel and I saw }the same wi errs/lockups during bulk transfers.
