Margit et al, 

Could you clarify on what change would've fixed the:
...
eth0: timeout waiting for mgmt response 1000, triggering device
eth0: timeout waiting for mgmt response
eth0: mgmt tx queue is still full
...

I've been plagued with this problem on my Thinkpad R31 w/ Netgear
WG511.  Its _really_ frustrating, the card constantly drops out.  It
seems to be triggered by power mgmt turning the fan on in my laptop;
is this what you meant by PM above?  I didn't see any recent changes
in cvs that address PM concerns...

SO all this said, I downloaded the latest-cvs tarball last night
(prior to msw's "Fix mgt_commit fail when fw < 1.0.4.3" changes) and
things still didn't work with my older 2.6.7-mm1.  I'm using 1.0.4.3
so I don't know if it'll help me; I'll try upgrading to 2.6.8-rc2 w/
tonight's latest-cvs tarball and see what happens.

Let me know if you have any suggestions or would like more information.

Mike
