I've tried disabling ACPI in the kernel, turning on APM support in the BIOS, and the combination of the two, and unfortunately the problem persisted. However, I found this patch (the one at the very bottom of the page): http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg78894.html And after adapting it to the 2.6.11.7 kernel, everything works again! I've rebooted the machine several times, and the 3com cards initialized successfully every time. I'm CC'ing linux-kernel in the hopes that this fix can make it into the mainstream kernel sometime soon. I'm sure my mother would appreciate it greatly. :) Please CC my e-mail address in any replies as I am not subscribed to this list. thanks, Jim Faulkner - 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/
