Hello

I noticed that my wi card crashed when I run tcpdump

from /var/log/messages I got this:

Finally I had to remove the wi card and then insert it again

I'm using a Symbol Spectrum24 Wireless LAN PC Card


Another thin I noticed is that dhclient went nuts and started to use 100% CPU untill I killed it.
