Hi Andrew,

This might be some problem with my kernel configuration.
I added:

Any suggestions what to try now? I'll go ahead and turn off the
bonding option and see if that helps.


I was seeing this same error last night on my via-velocity based
ethernet interface. I chalked it up to some config mistake on my
part, but I guess there might be more to it. Whatever it is, it
doesn't seem to be specific to the ipw2200 driver.
