> Did you enable eepro100 power management? > i tried with and without power managment enabled and it fails either way, but i have been playing with the setpci command and have been able to restore all the pci cards/bridges to their original state and now everything seems to work great, actually it fixed another problem i have had with this machine , namely whenever i try to insert agpgart after a suspend/resume the machine freezes, but resetting the host bridge to it original seems to fix the problem. I have included a bash script which sets the registers correct on a inspiron 8000 ( well it works here anyways :-) ) . , please give me a howler if anybody want's me to check out/test this some more.
