I have a thinkpad x40 and use the ipw2100 driver. When I do a large file transfer across my wireless network (between my x40 and a server on the wired side of the bridge), I inevitably get "Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart." within a minute or so. When this happens, not only does my link quality go to zero and my network stall, but the network drops for others as well. I have searched the bug database and found similar issues, but I can't tell whether they're the same, so I'm reporting it here. I would be exceedingly grateful for any help. I am using Debian unstable, with kernel 2.6.22-1-686. My firmware is version 1.3. The access point is a Belkin router that gives firmware version 1.01.03. I also downloaded the current 1.2.2 driver source and rebuild with debugging enabled, then loaded the module with debug=0x43fff (this value copied from a bug report) and reproduced the error. The entries in my kern.log are attached. The following three lines give the error: 18:33:25 ipw2100: Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart. 18:33:25 ipw2100: I ipw2100_irq_tasklet eth1: Fatal error value: 0x5000CEC8 18:33:25 ipw2100: I ipw2100_irq_tasklet eth1: Fatal error address value: 0x100E3E04 Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
