:o)
I had this problem a while ago. Back then I was using NFS mounted file system. 
So I blamed it on that.
Yesterday I tried again to use WaveLAN. By now I have working boards with JFFS2 
file system...

Hmm...

No. What I was trying to say, was :
"ifconfig eth1 down" shuts down the interface. Everythings is working fine. 
Blinking LEDs. Network. Console.
But when I then do "cardctl eject" the system hangs...

Thanks,
