sound config.. and other things..

[vi]

i have a thinkpad 770X, and sound works--for the most part. whenever i
turn pcmcia support on, it screws up my sound, giving problems with
irq/dma. if i re-run redhat 6.0's sndconfig (i'm not sure what it's doing,
i haven't been able to figure out what fixes it) it just "works" again.
i've tried rmmod'ing the modules and putting them back, but that doesn't
fix it. also, whenever i susupend the laptop and bring it back, the same
problem happens, and i have to re-run sndconfig.

on a different note, has anyone had problems with pcmcia-cs 2.0.9, and
kernel panics whenever you bring your machine back from a suspend? the
only solution i found was to turn off pcmcia-cs before i suspend it. 

i'm trying to track down the exact reason why pcmcia-cs makes it core
dump, and why sound has been screwing up, but haven't had the time for the
fsck's when the machine freezes..

apmd also has been not working right.

is any of this documented? or do i just have a special thinkpad?

and on a totally different note, has anyone had any problems with pppd and
2.2? i can connect, and get an ip, and am able to telnet to a machine, but
after i get a connection, i get nothing. the rest of the connection does
not work. i can send as much udp as i want, but it seems after it gets the
tcp 3-way handshake, all tcp trafic stops. i have checked for firewall
rules, etc, and it doesn't seem to help. is this just something wrong with
my setup, or have others had this problem with 2.2?

thanks.
