SF bugDB: 965365 This bug is separated from bug 921436. It is for "ipw2100_hw_sen_command timed out" issue in that bug. Acer Travelmate 290 After the first /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start (it's a Gentoo here) dmesg: ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, 0.35 ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 000:01:02.0 Detected ipw2100 PCI device at 0000:01:02.0, dev: eth1, mem: 0xE0000000-0xE0000FFF -> cf8ed000, irq: 11 eth1: ipw2100_hw_sen_command timed out. eth1: Failed to start the card. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-06-07 20:48 Sender: jnfleisc Logged In: YES user_id=558102 Should be fixed in 0.46.
It happens to me sometimes with v0.46_3. Compaq Presario X1000, Fedora core 1, kernel 2.6.5 dmesg: pw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, 0.46_3 ipw2100: Compiled with LEGACY FW load. dETECTED IPW2100 pci device at 0000:02:02.0, mem: 0x90000000-0x90000FFF -> e09d6000, irq: 5 divert: allocating divert_blk for eth2 eth2: Using legacy firmware load. eth2: ipw2100_hw_send_command timed out. eth2: failed to start the card. divert: freeing divert_blk for eth2

Moved to normal since doesn't involve system locking up and only affects a few users.
The bug still existed in ipw2100 v0.56. Just try to load/unload driver for several times, this bug will happen. ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, 0.56 ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation bus pci: add driver ipw2100 ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:02.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 ipw2100: 0000:02:02.0: Detected at mem: 0xC0214000-0xC0214FFF -> e088c000, irq: 11 divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1 eth1: Using hotplug firmware load.

This might be fixed in 0.60 (I found a problem with the card not being fully powered down on shutdown). I've loaded/unloaded 200+ times without any errors (using the following script): count=0 while true; do count=$((count+1)) clear echo $count ./load if dmesg -c | grep failed; then break; fi done
Didn't see the bug in ipw2100 v0.61. But we find a more severe bug which will cause kernel freeze. Mark this bug verified and create a new bug #351.
