[Gllug] xircom cardbus pcmcia nic itch

[Xander D Harkness]

My girlfriend has similar difficulties with a Xircom card.

I would expect it to wake after apm --suspend   It does not.

In addition it will often either lose its IP address or similar.  It is
quite difficult as I am rarely there to have a look.

It improved dramtically when I stopped the apm daemon; however I do not
think that it fixed it totally.

Not much help I know - but now you know someone else shares the problem
:-)

Kind regards
Xander
