Thanks for the suggestion. I've been Trying different values in 
/etc/pccard.conf but any override to the IRQ has no effect. IRQ11 
(assigned to the NIC) is also assigned to the video card on this thinkpad 
- the box accepts input while 'frozen', but displays anything entered as 
soon as the card is ejected. 

Not sure how much I can change the IRQ settings on this thing. I may just 
get a different NIC (an old pc-card modem I have works just fine).

Thanks - JB
