[plug] Long kernel-linked PCMCIA delay?

[Andrew Furey]

Howdy all,

I have Debian potato installed on my new Toshiba
Satellite 2650XDVD (the one Wayne was selling last
week... thank you sire :)

I've set up PCMCIA to work with my Xircom RealPort2
FastEthernet card (it's using the tulip_cb driver). On
the default 2.2.17 this worked fine.

I upgraded to 2.2.18 so I could use ext3, and compiled
my own pcmcia modules from the pcmcia-source package.
Everything still works, but now when pump tries to get
an IP for the machine, it takes about 40 seconds (as
opposed to 5 seconds for 2.2.17).

I've rebooted to 2.2.17 and confirmed that's it's
solely the new kernel (and hence pcmcia module) that
is the problem.

Any ideas, anyone?

TIA
Andrew
