OK here is what appears to be happening..


I tell the laptop to suspend.
cardmgr runs ./network suspend 3c59x
cardmgr received an error: "+3c59x: error fetching interface
information: Device not found"

/etc/hotplug/net.agent doesn't even run.

Should I disable the PCMCIA card services? If I do, I can't
insert other non-hotpluggable devices (like modem cards, IDE cards,
etc)
and get them to work.

As far as I can tell, net.agent only runs "ifup eth0" and "ifdown eth0"
and that's it. It doesn't know about suspend mode or resume mode and
won't run at those times.

Any ideas?

Thanks very much!

Tom
