PCMCIA network interface handled incorrectly on laptop resume

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2.1) Gecko/20010901 Description of problem: The PCMCIA network interface cards I have (one wired, one wireless) are handled incorrectly after a laptop resume. Even if the interfaces are configured to not come up on boot and even if I ifdown both interfaces before suspend, both interfaces come back up on resume. This does not happen with the internal interface. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.acquire laptop 2.acquire PCMCIA network interface 3.configure pcmcia network interface to not configure on boot 4.ifdown the interface 5.suspend laptop 6.resume laptop Actual Results: The PCMCIA network interface was activated. Expected Results: The PCMCIA network interface should not have been activated. Additional info: For most users, this will be a relatively minor problem. For me, I have a laptop w/ a winmodem, so I bought a nice, trustworthy 3COM combo card (had used it before and trusted it). Well, I will have two PCMCIA network interfaces most of the time - the 3COM one and a wireless card. Most of the time, only one should be up. having both come up after a suspend is annoying.
Hm, is this hotplug bringing up the interfaces?
Just realized that the same happens with the built-in network interface. It had not been coming up before because another card was interfering (long story). Anyway, the short version is that the built-in (non-PCMCIA) network interface also comes up after suspend whether it was up before the suspend or not.
