Re: Cardbus notes

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

:Then I tried removing the card and re-inserting it and that seemed to 
:work (cool!), but is the line "last message repeated 153862 times" (see 
:below) really right?

    dhclient manages DHCP for the interface.  It usually sticks around
    in the background in order to keep the lease renewed.

    It sounds like the dhclient program is going into a tight loop
    logging errors after you pulled the card.  That is definitely a bug.  It's
    probably eating cpu.  Do a 'top' or 'systat -vm 1' to see.  You
    can kill dhclient manually with something like 'killall -9 dhclient'.

    Hmm.  Probably the best fix is to have dhclient exit when it gets a
    device not configured error, since that means the device was pulled.
