(Removing the card would require half an hour with a screwdriver; it's built in to this laptop.) I tried "ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth0 up", and it said no such device... Logically, the link status toggled. This should be no different than unplugging and plugging in a cat 5 cable. It is NOT synonymous with a cardbus eject... Rob
