Hi, I have what seems to be a common problem. When I try transfer a lot of data across the network to my pcmcia ethernet card hangs. I have to reboot in order to try and connect to the network. service network restart doesn't help. I get the error message mentioned above in the log files. Saw a load of links on the net about this problem. Some say that I need to upgrade the kernel (but this didn't seem to help everyone), some say its ACPI that's the problem and needs to be disabled.... Before I go off shooting around in the dark trying a million different possibilities is there any "quick fix"? My card is a 3COM 3c59 variety. Kernel version is: 2.4.20-8 (no I haven't upgraded yet....) Thanks for the help.
