I had a similar problem to the original reporter with a PCMCIA Xircom. This was fixed as of boot-floppies 3.0.14. However now I find an "ifconfig eth0 down" will freeze the system, even though it had been working perfectly. However all-in-all, 3.0.14 works much better with PCMCIA. -- Dan Shearer Open Source Manager Mob: +61 411 49 1800 Tel: +61 8 8130 3104 dan@tellurian.com.au
