Unable to use ethernet after suspend and smbmount (laptop)

OK.

This is Kernel 2.4.3.

If I smbmount an exported filesystem from another GNU/Linux machine and then
suspend my laptop, after I resume I am unable to use the network at all.

I really think this is a bug raised by another bug.  The xirc2ps_cs Ethernet Cardbus
driver has a bug where after a suspend I have to eject the card and then insert
it again and then run 'ifup eth0'.  I think it actually may be a bug in my
cardbus but I don't know.

Anyway Linux won't unload (rmmod xirc2ps_cs) because the smbfs is using it.  :(
If force smbfs to unmount maybe this could be resolved but as we all know an
'umount -f /mnt/MOUNT' doesn't really force :(

Anyway.  If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.  If I unmount
*before* I suspend then everything works fine.  The problem is that sometimes I
forget! :(
