Yes I have checked that. My notebook is a IBM Thinkpad 760XD, yes I
know, it's a bit old, but I got it for 350 USD.
I realized now that the problem with the connection is a heat problem
in the notebook.
When I switch it on everything works fine. After 45 - 60 minutes I
get network errors. Then I switch it off for 30 minutes and after
that it works again for about 1 hour. The pcmcia card seems to get
too hot.
Well, I can live with that. I had TinyLinux installed from floppy but
now I have a full Slackware 7.1 on it with Emacs.
I just need the network connection to my desktop to sync files once a
day.
I could do the work all over again, putting a mini Slackware on a
small partition and get the Mandrake CDs 1&2 on the harddisk via my
desktop. But that is too much work for now...
