i a way that's good - it means we can catch it easily... :) i am testing on a mips board (routerstation pro) with 5414 as i said. and for me it happens very rarely, which makes debugging really hard. > So it is AR5414. Great, since that means its not aspire one specific. i think ar5414 and 2425 are probably very similar. > Maybe its slow CPU makes the difference? hmm, i can't see this problem on an even slower soekris board... > About the fact that reset didn't help, I say it helps *sometimes*, > otherwise I wouldn't be paying that much attention to that. Moreover, > sometimes after a reset RXORN storm stops, but card still doesn't > transmit. yes i have had this. one reset makes everything silent - i.e. no interrupts at all, no RX/TX. a second reset makes the RXORN interrupts appear again, but still no RX or TX can happen. third reset makes everything silent, 4th reset: RXORN... etc... bruno _______________________________________________ ath5k-devel mailing list ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-devel
