However, in the past when people have upgraded their hotplug scripts, the problem goes away. Whatever, it's certainly not a PCMCIA issue either, so I'm at a loss what to do about these reports. I can only think that the right answer is to bat them all at the netdev list, since it is a network device issue. -- Russell King (rmk@arm.linux.org.uk) http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/ Linux kernel maintainer of: 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ 2.6 PCMCIA - http://pcmcia.arm.linux.org.uk/ 2.6 Serial core - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
