Orinoco gold car locking up under sustained load

Orinoco gold car locking up under sustained load

[Tony Lill]

Linux 2.4.17 laptop with an orinoco gold and AP-500. I'm trying to
backup some stuff useing 'ssh tardis tar cf -' After about an hour or
so, the card locks up with both led's going dim.

The last three messages repeat every second until the card is pulled.

Maybe the card just overheated? Do those LEDs normally ever go dim?
These cards draw a considerate amount of power, so it is conceivable
that either the card, or the CardBus power switch decided to take a
vacation elsewhere... Looking at the log, it seems that the card just
disappeared - which would be consistent with hardware failure, and power
failure in particular.
