Subject: ipw2200 in 2.6.15-rc2-git4 warns about improper NETDEV_TX_BUSY retcode

Dell Latitude D610, FC4 base distro, kernel is:

[asuardi@sandman ~]$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.15-rc2-git4 (asuardi@sandman) (gcc version 4.0.1
20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5)) #2 Fri Nov 25 00:15:46 CET 2005

Onboard wireless card as detected by kernel is:
ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, git-1.0.8

and I placed the 2.4 firmware from sourceforge.net in /lib/firmware.

ifup eth1 yields this message:

eth1: NETDEV_TX_BUSY returned; driver should report queue full via
ieee_device->is_queue_full.


I'm connected to my wireless DSL router while typing this mail
so it obviously isn't fatal...


Thanks,

The offsets of the patch are off by several hundred lines,
however the patch itself works fine. Thanks !

mine does something different, it keep saying something about firmware
error, and that it restarts, however it holds the connection fine.

There is bug 808 at bughost.org for the IPW2200 project.

I have asked the patch to be merged but I dunno why it hasn't been
pushed up.
