Aparrently this works a lot better with the 0.15rc3 driver (from www.nongnu.org/orinoco). Any chance we can include this (or will we simply have to wait for upstream inclusion) 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4. Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in this release, which may have fixed your problem. Thank you. My last post was actually after installing the 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 kernel (I should have mentoined that). I try to leave my network interfaces in "control" of ifplugd, which may or may not be a good idea. My feeling is that perhaps ifplugd may be a little hard on an already broken driver, which causes the errors to happen earlier than otherwise. The problem STILL exists when disabling ifplugd altogether. So i downloaded the standalone version of the latest orinoco driver from http://www.nongnu.org/orinoco and make install'ed that and afterwards, controlled by ifplugd or not, things just seem to work - No errors at all so far. The Fedora-netdev kernels are available here: http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fedora-netdev/ Please give those a try, and post the results here...thanks! Closed due to lack of response. Please reopen when the requested information becomes available...thanks! Sorry for the lack of response, I find the netdev kernel to be a very moving target, so what's true this week, may not be tru the next. So in the absence of a specific release to test, where somebody might have had an idea that the orinoco driver had been updated, I've been working around the problem with the latest base FC4 kernels instead... That out of the way, I've settled for manual up/down of the interface, which seems to eliminate a lot of my problems. If/When I run into these problems again, I will do more agressive testing on the netdev kernels. Thanks! |
