Subject: Re: sis900 transmit timeouts

I do not the sis900 chipset documentation on hand right now, so I
cannot decode the TX status numbers. I did not receive any more
reports apart from yours and the original one, so it is either a very
nasty bug that happens in very particular conditions or an hardware
problem.

At the time I placed my bets on the 64bit arch because they were rare
enough to make the bug difficult to reproduce.

I'll let you know if your logs give me some hint.

Thanks,
Daniele.
