Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-2.6-386

hi

# uname -a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.15-26-386 #1 PREEMPT Thu Aug 3 02:52:00 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

I get at the wlan card WG311T from Netgear with madwifi driver the following errors:

ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:6C:31:2A:6D

I don't have any errors on debian sarge or freeBSD installed on the same hardware.

I think, the problem is madwifi driver.

It looks like you may have pasted the wrong information; you sent only "ifconfig" output and not any errors.

Changed in linux-source-2.6.15:

I think he was refering to RX packets:16548 errors:4953 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:2953 which seems indeed unusual.
Been a long time, any news on Ubuntu 7.04 (or ideally on Gutsy Tribe-2 CD that can be found on:
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/tribe2)?

A search for madwify returns lots of bugs.
I note bugs:
bug #37773
bug #69709
among others.
