Pcmcia card going off too early

["Hugo S. Carrer" <hscarrer@efn.uncor.edu>]

Hi:

I've got a pcmcia ethernet card on my laptop wich runs woody, it works
quite well but i'm having a little problem during suspend to ram
operations.

I'm using APM and when i press the power button or type apm -s the apm
daemon runs the scripts in /etc/apm/ and then the laptop suspends. The
problem is that as soon as I press the button or enter the apm -s command,
the pcmcia card goes off, even before the before mentioned scripts are ran.

There are certain operations (loging off the cluster) that are executed by
the /etc/apm/ scripts and that need for the eth0 to be up, but as the card
is already turned off these operations fail. I've solved this by writting a
small script that runs these operations and then does the apm -s. But I
would like to be able to press the power button and forget about it. So the
question is where do I configure the time for the pcmcia card to go off?.

see you
