Re: wi0 watchdog timeout

even  i had the same problem once with a 4-5 yr old
gateway2000 box and couldnt solve it.but luckily for
me i had in hand a new Dell dimension 4800 ,the bios
of which was good enough to rid of the watchdog
errors.i think it is a bios and the pci adapter
comaptibility issue.newer desktops have better bios
and hence seems to work.hope this helps.i know this
isnt a solution though:-)
