Hello, While using D-Link DWL-G520 PCI wireless card as a wireless access point using Madwifi driver on Debian Etch, kernel 2.6.17, I notice that wifi0 interface is showing some errors: ~# ifconfig wifi0 wifi0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr <long address here> UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:40489 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 frame:51422 TX packets:86684 errors:258 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:199 RX bytes:3704588 (3.5 MiB) TX bytes:128189426 (122.2 MiB) Interrupt:201 Memory:c8aa0000-c8ab0000 ~# ifconfig ath0 ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr <long address here> inet addr:192.168.5.1 Bcast:192.168.5.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::215:e9ff:feb3:ef25/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:32968 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:85281 errors:0 dropped:6 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2445456 (2.3 MiB) TX bytes:125471425 (119.6 MiB) and as shown, ath0, the wireless device, is working okay. Should I be worried about the errors shown by wifi0? The PCI wireless card is listed as: 01:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) thanks, ->HS |
