I'm running 2.2.8-stable on a Dell Lattitude CPi (266) and I have a 3Com 3c589-tp pcmcia ethernet card. It seems to occur at irregular intervals (30 - mins to 4,5 - hours) that my network connection will drop out. ifconfig still reports a link that is up and netstat reports connections to other machines. If I take the link down via ifconfig can remove the default route, and then add them both back in the link comes backup. That seems to be the only way that I can reinstate the network link. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Has something changed in the ep0 or pccard card code that could be causing this? thaniks Colin E.
