[2.6.0] intel pro/wireless 2011 vs. orinoco

[Gabor MICSKO]

Hi!

if i try download big files from the internet or my local network throuh
my intel pro/wireless 2011 card, i get sometimes (rare) the following
error messages:

Dec 22 13:54:55 gmicsko03 kernel: eth1: Error -110 writing Tx descriptor
to BAP
Dec 22 13:54:55 gmicsko03 last message repeated 82 times

in this situation my CPU load jump to 100%, traffic stopping. if i
remove the pcmcia card, and reinsert everything is OK.

it is a driver bug, or my wireless card old/buggy/etc ?
