[SLUG] PCMCIA network cards killing linux..

[Alan Lee]

This is weird..   At my office, we have 2 linux machines.   When I plug a laptop into the network, one of the linux machines seems to drop off the network.  If I log into the machine, everything is correct, no settings have changed, no error's, nothing weird in the messages(s) files.  To fix it, I have to reboot the machine.   This happens about 15 sec after I plug the laptop in.  dosn't matter what IP address the laptop has, dosn't matter what hub I plug the laptop into.    Ive even changed the network card! (same brand/model tho)   Has anyone seen/heard such a thing?   Regards, Alan Lee
