[ltp] Questions about moving from Win2k to SUSE 7.3 Pro (Long)

[Mark Beierl]

Uuuh, well...  Yes you're right; I also down the interface and 
physically remove the card prior to any susp/hiber.  As I only use the 
wireless when I'm at home, it's just become part of my packing up the 
laptop to go into work, so it's just habit now.  Technically, bringing 
down the pcmcia subsystem on suspend ought to do the trick, but I always 
end up with rlmod having a refcount of -1 (using lsmod) whenever I do 
that, after which point, I start getting kernel panics, system goes 
wobbly, reboot imminent, etc...  

I've had a few dialogues with Dave Koberstein about that, but that was 
with RH 6.2 2.2.16 kernel, using v6.0 of his symphony drivers.  I think 
I need to ask again now that he's up to 7.something..

Regards,
Mark
