At the bottom fo this message is a piece of /var/log/messages This is for a Compaq Armada 7800 wit a 3com Megahertz Cardbus 10/100, but the NIC does not seem to be the problem, I also used some other PCMCIA nicks for testing and the same happens. SuSE7.0 standard kernel, stander PCMCIA package, though I also tried the one that came with 6.2 (and recompiled that one) but still the same. I have run this machine with 2.2.14 to 2.2.17 pristine kernels without problem, but the 2.2.16.SuSE seems to be the culprit here. Is there someone (at SuSE,?) I can communicate with to get this solved because it is REALLY driving me up the wall, bonkers, nuts etc. etc. Each time I need to do some scp-ing,ssh-ing, ftp-ing, remoteX-ing It just does this within 30 sec's !
