I have a Dell Inspiron 7500 (a laptop) with a Linksys EtherFast 10/100 PC Card. With 5.1, I would insert the EtherFast card, and type "dhclient -r ed1" as root and everything would work. Now, when I insert the card, I get the following on the console: ed1: at port 0x100-0x11f irq 11 function 0 config 16 pccard1 ed1: [GIANT_LOCKED] ed1: Ethernet address aa:aa:aa:aa:aa ed1: if_start running deferred for Giant type NE1000 (8 bit) When I now type "dhclient -r ed1", nothing happens for several minutes. and then I get the prompt back. ifconfig reveals an IP address of 0,0,0,0, a netmask of 255.255.255.255, and an Ethernet address of aa:aa:aa:aa:aa. Something seems wrong, and I don't know what to do next. Google results have not been helpful. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
