hi, i've a similiar problem with my rbem-56g100. because i have to use some windows-software in my lab i reboot often my laptop to switch between windows98 and linux (2.2.16 and pcmcia 3.1.20). everytime i had a problem to recognize the network after a reboot from windows. the logs showed that network and route service failed but network looked ok. the route service wasn't started. after two (!) reboots everything is ok and i can work without problems with network and modem (independent from further reboots of linux). one boot of windows is enough to destroy this behavior! some restarts from network and route should solve this problem: at the moment i have a script which restarts two times the network service and then it starts the route service and everything is fine. the network script is from suse linux and interweaved with other system scripts. my next goal is to find the thing what changes the behavior. i have no experience with the pcmcia bus but it's strange for me that some things can survive a cold reboot (init of pcmcia bus from windows?). greetings, sven |
