Yes that works. Strangely, the times between the link dying seem to be longer
after every time of doing this.

That caused a kernel panic!!!! Tried it again and the same thing happened.

If I understand correctly then yes. I run a stumbler app on my PowerBook,
this 
can see the signal present even after the connection has died.

wlan0: netif running 1 queue_stopped 1 carrier_ok 0



Here is the output from lspci:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems 601 (rev 27)
00:02.0 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC95 (rev 07)
00:02.1 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC95 (rev 07)
00:04.0 VGA compatible controller: Chips and Technologies F65554 (rev c2)
00:0b.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 01)

Unfortunately I don't have access to a PCMCIA USB controller to try.

Once againg thank you very much for your help.
