PCMCIA card interface not holding its IP
I'm not 100% positive this is my problem. I think it might be in part an
issue with the DHCP server i connect to. But I'm curious if other people
have encountered this problem.
I run unstable (which might be the problem in and of itself) on an HP
N3310. I have a Linksys NE2000-Compatible PCMCIA card. I run a self
compiled kernel version 2.4.18. The /etc/init.d/pcmcia script loads and
unloads the modules properly, but after a long period on inactivity (for
example, overnight) the card releases its IP address (aquired via pump).
The eth0 interface stays up, but it doesn't renew an IP address. I think
I've found a quick fix by executing pump every 30 minutes (thanks
cron!). But I'd like to find a real fix to the problem. Is it a bug in
pump maybe? I don't know, hence why I'm asking the list. --Link
