Hi, I have a HP OmniBook XE2 DC laptop and a 3Com 3c575 pcmcia card. I'm having terrible problems getting the network interface to work properly after a suspend/resume cycle. The laptop has a buggy apm BIOS, so I have to issue cardctl eject to make the NIC survive suspending in /etc/apm/event.d/pcmcia. The problem is, cardctl eject always responds "ioctl(): Device or resource busy". Shutting down the network interface does not affect the situation, nor can I find any daemon that would keep the inteface reserved. Lsmod always shows usage count of at least 1 for the 3c575_cb module. I know the problem can be solved, since I had no such difficulties with Red Hat 7.0. I just would like to find out, how. :-) The kernel is self-compiled 2.4.4, with APM configuration as follows (identical to my late RH setup): CONFIG_PM=y # CONFIG_ACPI is not set CONFIG_APM=m # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y # CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set The pcmcia-cs stuff is version 3.1.25-3, with self-compiled modules. While trying to isolate the problem I also noticed that ignoring standby calls while on AC does not work on my laptop, so I commented that out from /etc/apm/apmd_proxy. I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Best regards, Matti Airas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
