This sounds like a kernel issue.
Comment 2 Arjan van de Ven 2002-08-02 16:52:51 UTC 
what kind of pcmcia adapter is this ?
Comment 3 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:39:48 UTC 
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
