My logs show the following:

Each time I get a transmit timeout, or UDP: short packet error,
networking on my laptop seems to go down. Reinsertion of the
card temporarily fixes it, and if I leave it long enough it
also fixes itself.

Does the same happen with a 2.2 kernel and the 3.1.24 PCMCIA drivers?
There is a bug fix in the 3.1.24 xirc2ps_cs driver that hasn't been
merged into the kernel tree yet.

I downloaded the pcmcia-cs 3.1.24 package and hand-merged the bugfix(es?)
into 2.4.1's xirc2ps_cs.c. A(n attempt at a) patch to bring 2.4.1
up to pcmcia-cs's version is attached to this email. So far, no
problems, but it'll be at least 48 hours before I can say whether
it happens or not.. This is also available at
http://incandescent.mp3revolution.net/kernel/xirc2ps_cs/.
Looking through logs, it appears as though the problem first
appeared in kernel 2.4.1-pre7, and has become frequent enough
to annoy me as of 2.4.1. Did anything change dealing w/ this
driver/card between 2.4.0 and 2.4.1-pre7?

A few minutes ago, I got the following:
Feb 3 13:09:10 pea kernel: UDP: short packet: 0/58
.. and the driver hung. I had to reinsert the card to get
networking back. This is after 10 hours of uptime, using
the patch i sent previously against 2.4.1's xirc2ps_cs.
So the answer is, yes, it happens w/ 3.1.24's driver. Any
suggestions?
