So I gather...I originally approached this problem assuming it was an issue
with the topic controller, but the fact that a Dell machine with an apparent
TI controller exhibits the same behaviour has me confused - it's also very
irritating because at this point I have no idea whether the problem is in
the Cardbus driver or the tulip driver...

We originally started pursuiing the Linksys cardbus because it seemed like
it was fairly well supported (Linksys even has instructions on their web
page), and uses the Tulip driver which has always been a favorite choice of
mine. :> Unfortunately it's been nothing but pain.

Yah, that's done.
