I have a Dell Lattitude CPx and the Xircom CBEM56G-100 card.
When I ran pcmcia-cs-3.1.22 I had to run it in promisc mode
all the time. I upgraded to pcmcia-cs-3.1.25 and now I don't
need to run it in promisc mode all the time, but I have to
remind it that it's up now and again. For example, I resume
my pc on a different network and re-run DHCP Client to get an
IP and this process works great and eth0 shows configured and
up, but it doesn't forward. I issue the command 'ifconfig
eth0 up' and voila, it works. This doesn't happen all the
time.
