Hi all!
Don't wonna make stupid
quiestions, but this is
something I have to know
to make reclamation if neces-
sary.
After 5-10 minutes of inter-
net connection, when detached,
my pccard modem is hot as fur-
nace. I can barely take it in
my hand. Is it normal beha-
veour?
Model is Zoltrix, has "cirrus"
on the sticker.
Best regards
ZK

Regarding the query, yes, this is normal behavior for many laptops. Many are designed (unfortunately) with heat-generating circuitry right above/below the cardbus slots. If the card and laptop work correctly, for extended periods of time, then you have nothing to worry about. Just have a pair of tongs handy when you're ready to take it out. -- Charles Ulrich System Administrator Ideal Solution, LLC - http://www.idealso.com

Try setting debug.mpsafenet=0 in your /boot/loader.conf. I have
similar sounding issues with -current and my USB modem + ppp.
