The apmd-script included in apmd-3.0final does the following on resume: cardctl resume/insert service networking start Unfortunately, if one of your pcmcia cards is a PCI-merged networking card such as the 3c575_cb, hotplug does the following upon seeing the card resumed... if networking is started, configure the new interface Thus, because apmd reenables pcmcia before networking, a pcmcia network adapter won't be configured by hotplug. One easy sollution, is that if the pcmcia network adapter is always in the system, you can enable ONBOOT for the interface, and thus the networking script will enable it for you. In my case (frequently switching between LAN and WAN cards), that isn't an option.
Sounds like an apmd problem...
Fixed in 3.0.2-6
