[Bug 481672] [NEW] ath5k phy1: no further txbuf available, dropping packet wireless drops connection after large transfer on virtualbox to the host on bridged ethernet

Fri Nov 13 01:48:29 UTC 2009

Public bug reported:

Presumably this is present on every kernel.
View the attached dmesg.

I transfered a 300MB file over FTP on a bridged wireless connection
using filezilla on the VM and pure-ftpd on the host

The HOSTS adapter driver then spit errors (ath5k) and dropped the
wireless connection

I could not re-engage the connection unless i did a rmmod ath5k;modprobe
ath5k
