I upgraded my IBM ThinkPad 240 (Type 2609-31U) from Red Hat 7.0 to
Red Hat 7.1, which uses the 2.4.2 kernel and the kernel PCMCIA drivers.
Before the upgrade, all my CardBus and PCMCIA devices were working fine.
Now the yenta_socket module seems to be causing problems, and none of
the cards work.

If your network cards & their drivers (both hosts) support full duplex
