2002-06-22 Thread Damian Sweeney
I have an annoying problem with my pcmcia card. Regularly, but not consistently, it drops the network connection. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to this behaviour. Sometimes I can download a woody iso without a hitch, sometimes the connection doesn't last long enough to gather my email.
