"ifconfig" shows nothing amiss, but "fetchmail" times out claiming it can't do a DNS lookup. effectively, all networking grinds to a halt on that interface, and the only fix is to "service network restart".I wonder if also a "service pcmcia restart" would bring it back on line. Oddly I don't do wireless for a "client" pc but rather as a firewall/gateway, three of them currently. The only time I get the pcmcia card to stop working is when I use tcpdump on it when I'm troubleshooting netfilter rule sets or vpn setup's. Rather annoying as the system is usually remotely located. I also agree with the one poster recommending that the firmware is at it's latest rev. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
