I have a similar card: From the back of the card: AIR-PCM352 (AIR-PCM350 SERIES). The card was working in FC2, but I don't tested it throughly (copying big files) just for Internet navigation. Even I downloaded the FC3 CD's using it. After installed FC3, I wanted to copy the CD's to our internal server and I it hangs my computer. After some tests, I noted the problem showed when the >600MB file where in the 50% of the copy. I made the same test using winXP in the same machine and same card and everything works as expected. I copied all 4 CD's at once without problems. Later, I also upgraded the firmware of my card from 4.25.30 to 5.60.08 (the lastest). After the firmware upgrade, the problem of copying big files persisted a little bit worse. I am not able to copy files grater than 190MB. Also 2 times the computer for no reasons hanged in the last 2 weeks. Not sure why. I can left the computer on for more than a day and the connection is there, but I cannot copy big files. It seems to be a big restriction. The kernel: 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 If you need more info, let me know. Stopped working for me too. On a fresh reboot network starts with both kernels kernel-2.6.10-1.760_FC3 and kernel-2.6.10-1.766_FC3 but afterr a short period there are network errors and it is unusable. This is with low network traffic (1 idle browser). I tried with 2 different cards. ifdown eth1 ; ifup eth1 restores it - a short while later it just stops working as abvove with errors (10's of thousands) visible in ifconfig ifdown the interface and removeing the card causes an OOPS as well (reported elsewhere I believe - this has been around for a long time tho) so this is probably unrelated. Pretty sure it was fine under 740 kernel. gene/ Log file contains: airo: BAP setup error too many retries Ifconfig has RX and TX errors (now reached 3 * 10^9 !!) as collisions - RX and TX bytes say 3 GiB. Presumably these are the retries. Card works for only a few minutes before failure. An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. This bug has been automatically closed as part of a mass update. It had been in NEEDINFO state since July 2005. If this bug still exists in current errata kernels, please reopen this bug. There are a large number of inactive bugs in the database, and this is the only way to purge them. Thank you. |
