Hello:
I have a strange problem. I am running Fedora Core 1 on a Dell Inspiron
3500 laptop. I have a D-Link DFE-690TXD cardbus ethernet card.
Everything worked fine during the installation and the card worked
without my needing to do anything to enable it.
Unfortunately, when I shut down the machine, leave it off for
a while, and come back to it, the card does not work until I pull
it out and reinsert it into the cardbus slot. Once I do that,
everything works just fine again. I don't have to change any settings
or anything.
Here is what dmesg shows me when the system first starts up:

As you can see, it does recognize the card but it shows timeouts on the
transmissions.
When I pull out the card, this message comes in /var/log/messages:
Dec 31 11:43:22 delllaptop kernel: cs: cb_free(bus 6)
When I reinsert the card, these messages appear in /var/log/messages:

It says that it is missing the 8139too driver, but everything works just
fine
from this point on.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Neil
