I read this thread earlier in the week with a nagging memory of a friend complaining about this card, so last night I tried it out with yesterday's -current snapshot on a as-yet unused Vaio N505X. I'm seeing some `interesting' behaviour, although I don't know enough about the pccard stuff to pin it on anything in particular. On boot, everything works fine (including repeated insertion and removal). Ping-flooding the machine, systat -vmstat shows the IRQ assigned to ep0 going wild as expected. After an apm suspend, the card doesn't work properly although I see the same ep0: <3Com 3C574B etc.> at port 0x240-0x25f irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0 ep0: Ethernet address 00:50:04:fd:94:c9 and the media-select light comes on again. (I have PCIC_RESUME_RESET turned on.) Pinging the machine from the network, packets get through, but very slowly: # ping 192.168.64.3 PING 192.168.64.3 (192.168.64.3): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.64.3: icmp_seq=13 ttl=255 time=911.308 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.64.3: icmp_seq=14 ttl=255 time=1901.416 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.64.3: icmp_seq=15 ttl=255 time=891.487 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.64.3: icmp_seq=16 ttl=255 time=1881.523 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.64.3: icmp_seq=17 ttl=255 time=871.616 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.64.3: icmp_seq=18 ttl=255 time=1861.925 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.64.3: icmp_seq=19 ttl=255 time=851.989 ms [...] systat -vmstat no longer shows any IRQ activity on the card's IRQ (or on any other during a ping flood). If I then unplug the card and reinsert it, the light stays off. Attempting to ping outwards from the Vaio locks it solid immediately! Any guesses what's going on here? Is this a known problem? I've put the kernel config file and bootup dmesg at http://www.miranda.arachsys.com/3cfun/VAIO http://www.miranda.arachsys.com/3cfun/dmesg for reference. Unfortunately I don't have any other pccards handy to try in this machine, nor another available laptop in which to test the 374B.
