I find that sometimes I cannot use that interface after the network is changed.... I get something like "network unreachable" when I try to ping some hosts on that network. The NIC is fine after a reboot. Most of the time I was using slink with kernel 2.2.13. Are there any other things that I need to do? Or was it driver dependent?
