I have a HiNote Ultra 475 running NT V4 and it has a Xircom PCMCIA network card in it. I have a problem when I disconnect the battery charger. The network keeps on working until I close the lid when the power to the network card is turned off. Opening the lid and/or plugging the mains adapter back in does not restore power the PCMCIA card. Somewhere in the BIOS there is a setting for the PCMCIA card in: Power > Advanced > PCMCIA socket power in suspend and it is set to : AC power On Battery power Off Now I do not want the card powered when the AC is not connected but I do want the card to come back to life when the AC is restored. Is there a solution to my problem or will I have to re-boot ad nausium? Many thanks, Simon Posted in DECPC_POTRTABLES and LAPTOPPC

re: LORDS::COLE
Is power truly not getting restored to the PC Card upon restoration of
AC mains power, or could it just be a driver issue where the driver
isn't resetting and reestablishing networking? On my notebook with a
Xircom 10/100 card, it takes about 30 seconds for the network to get
restored.
Also, have you tried just restarting Win95 and not rebooting? If this
works, then you know power is there and the driver is just not doing
its job.
