Actually, this has been mentioned here MANY times, at least the part about ifplugd shuting down the pcmcia network card after it is up for a minute or so. It is becoming an old and ignored problem. It has a bugreport at Mandrake's bugzilla that is several weeks old as well.
You might go to bugzilla and "vote" for this one. Adam W. submitted it.
