Hi all,
I used to be using IEEE802.11b on Linux well as eth1, while eth0 is for
100 BaseT.
Yesterday my system had repeatedly this kind of error, "NETDEV
WATCHDOG:eth1: transmit timed out"
and I can not access networks.
My wireless LAN card is of a AVAYA's sivler card.

Does anyone know what makes this problem and how to solve it?

Regards,
bkna

The kernel monitors whether sent packets are really transmitted. If this
doesn't happen - the ethernet transmit interrupt is not delivered in a time
defined by the ethernet driver - the kernel may ask the driver to resend
the frame and prints this kernel message. The driver should then reset the
transmit engine before resending the frame. I think your driver isn't
handling this correctly.

Bye,
