That is only part of the problem. Also if you remove a PCMCIA card then the
network will be physically gone but still mounted. One solution is to search
through /proc/mounts for the IP addresses of NFS servers, add these addresses
to lo:0, lo:1, etc, then umount. Your NFS server on your laptop will say
that the mounts are invalid and they will be quickly umounted.
