I've experienced the same problem on an i386/single (pII) with a 3c575b
(PCMCIA) net card, no DHCP, a several kernels and version version of
pcmcia utils (either compiled w/gcc2.7.2.3 or gcc2.95.1/egcs 1.1.2, same
problem either way) The NIC/PCMCIA are compiled as modules -- though I
have yet to experience the same problem with 2.3.15-18 with cardbus
drivers linked into the kernel.
Hope this helps a bit...
