Hello all!  I seem to have a lot of the following in my dmesg ring:

netcs0: TXEXC - fid=0x02e3 - status=0x0001 ([RetryErr]) tx_control=000c
   retry_count=0 tx_rate=110 fc=0x0a08 (Data::0)

netcs0: TXEXC - fid=0x01f3 - status=0x0001 ([RetryErr]) tx_control=000c

Is this indicating a hidden node problem?  If so, is there any way to know
which node or nodes are causing the problem?

Also, Does anyone have any data on the Frag and RTS settings?  Should we be
using them, and if so, what are the recommended ranges, and what to look for
when  tuning.

Much thanks to all!
