ere's either a long delay or a system hang. I don't think that's a cardmgr issue, though -- as I've tried manually removing the drivers (ifdown eth1; rmmod ) and have the same problems. So, I'll agree that it's either a problem with the driver dealing with being removed, or the kernel. It's time like these that those powerbooks don't seem so expensive. ;) -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I tried stopping cardmgr then manually inserting my card, manually loading the modules and finally manually running the script but the driver didn't bind to the card (or something like that). So I'm curious what other step is happening. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
