I've been trying to get my ORiNOCO WaveLan Silver card in my PCI PCMCIA
adapter working without much luck. It detects the base station and the card
works fine until I try to ping something on the wireless network.
Thereafter it starts emitting the following in /var/log/messages exactly
every 4 seconds:

Jul 15 12:48:41 ip9 kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
Jul 15 12:48:41 ip9 kernel: wvlan_cs: eth1 Tx timed out! Resetting card
Jul 15 12:48:41 ip9 kernel: wvlan_cs: MAC address on eth1 is 00 02 2d 0b 46
d3

Any ideas on why this might be happening? Here is my current settings:

% iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

# Wireless LAN adapter configuration

# All the Wireless specific configuration is done through the Wireless
# Extensions, so we will just call 'iwconfig' with the right parameters
# defined below.
# Of course, you need to have iwconfig installled on your system.

# Note : you don't need to fill all parameters, leave them blank, in most
# cases the driver will initialise itself with sane defaults values or
# automatically figure out the value... And not all drivers do support
# all settings...
