pcmcia module insertion causing hard lockup on a Toshiba Tecra 8000 in Madrake 9.0

[Becker, Rob]

I installed Mandrake 9 on a Tecra 8000 and was having odd lockup problems.  I have narrowed them 
down to the network card that I'm using.  Has anyone had problems with Xircom RealPort 
Ethernet/Modem combo cards?  The specific card model is RBEM56G-100.  The odd part of this problem 
is that Redhat 8 works great with this laptop/nic combo.  Are there some driver issues with 
Mandrake 9?  Any links, tips or feedback greatly appreciated.  I have other cards I can try, but 
the challenge of figuring this out is interesting (at least for now).
Thanks.
Rob
