This happens frequently enough for it to be rather annoying, but not frequently to be really annoying. It seems to happen when there is no traffic through the link (based on the fact that I cannot ever remember it happening while I was on irc ;). When the problem first occurs, it seems to occur several times quickly one after another a few times, then the problem goes away. There is no problem with suspend/resume, however. I am unable to find anything in any of the logs, and bugs.debian.org does not list any related bugs for the pcmcia-cs or hotplug scripts. The card is a Xircom Cardbus 10/100 NIC (CBEM56G-100), and it use the kernel's xircom_cb module. I used to use the module in the pcmcia_cs package before, but I can't remember whether it was any better then (I don't think it was though). $ uname -a Linux arwen 2.4.18 #1 Tue Apr 9 02:05:16 BST 2002 i686 unknown Stig -- brautaset.org
