I use a 3com 3c589 under warp, and I have no problems with hibernate suspend, or hot plugging. I often hibernate, take the computer home, then login over ppp on the modem. I suspect the problem is with the drivers that came with your card. >I have a 755cx with a PCMCIA ethernet card (called ICCard - DE650 CT clone), >and I am running OS/2 Warp Connect (I also have a Linux partition).
