Problem with PCMCIA 8139too

[gigerstyle@gmx.ch]

Hi!

I have successfully installed the PCMCIA CardBus NIC with realtek 8139 chip. I'm using the yenta_socket module and of course the 8139too module.

As test I set up the interface with 

	ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.5 up

and made a ping to another host.

Seems all to be ok.. no problems there.


When I put my Notebook in sleeping mode and resume it, ifconfig shows still the same network configuration, BUT now I can't ping any other hosts.

A
	ifconfig eth0 down
and
	ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.5 up

doesn't help.

Ping says only:

Have also tried many other things like reloading modules,
shutting down pcmcia before sleeping etc etc....
As last I used the hotplugging scripts...but also without success.

There are no errors in message or something else:-(
After a standby I have to reboot the Notebook for a proper working NIC:-(

Is there any way that it will work? I like standby and hate booting;-)

Other cards have no problems (older realtek, aironet 340) but they aren't cardbus.

Ah before I forget: I'm using Kernel Version 2.4.19

More info needed? No problem..
