This does not sound like a Linux problem.
Are you sure that the BIOS is not set to a power saving mode that shuts off
power to the PCMCIA devices?
This is highly probably and would account for what you see...

|Subject: [newbie] Network Card trouble
|
|
|Hello all,
|
|I have an interesting problem with my pcmcia network card... When I boot
|Linux, I recieve the error that my ethernetwork initialization has failied
|(something similiar to that) and My network card is not activated, however
|if I remove the card and reinsert it, it will become active as eth0 when I
|look under ifconfig. But a few minutes later, I will hear a low beep and my
|network card will be shut off.
|I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong here... Can someone tell me how I
|should go about setting up my card in linuxconf if that's what I need to do
|(my ultimate goal is to set up SAMBA so I can talk to my other
|linux box and
|my winbloz box...) I appreciate any help with this, i'm pretty lost.
|Thanks in advance!
|
|- Joe :)
