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

[MdG]

Rob:

I'm not sure if this can translate to linux...but I had some problems with
those cards in windows.  By default, the "Cable Detect" was turned on...so,
every 15 seconds or so, it would check for a cable.  It none was plugged in,
I would hear a skip in whatever media was playing, and sometimes it would
freeze me up.  Maybe the same thing is happening in linux??

Long shot,
Matt

> 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).
