[Prism54-users] CVS - WEP = Crashes, Other Crashes

[Stanislav Lyalikov]

JY>   I have a 266 MHz Dell Optiplex desktop with the CVS build from two
JY> nights ago, and a fresh 2.4.24 kernel, on Slackware 9.1.  The SMC Prism
JY> GT/Duette 54G (Nitro) PCI card is eth3, since the Dell's my firewall and
JY> has three other LAN interfaces (WAN, LAN, DMZ).

JY>   The 'other' machine is a Prism GT/Duette-integrated Windows XP Home
JY> notebook.

JY>   I've had to hard reset from Kernel crashes about five times since
JY> installing.  Using a WEP key resulted in crashes almost immediately, so
JY> now I'm running open with MAC iwpriv's.  Random crashes have occurred,
JY> too, only when pushing more than the usual amount of traffic.

JY>   Anyone else experiencing this?  I don't have the output from the Kernel
JY> panics, but could get them with a little bit of effort if anyone is
JY> interested.

The SMC 2802 PCI card requires at least P-II 300 MHz to run. I tried
to use it in 266 MHz desktop and the system crashed every second time
I started it.
