Unable to use ethernet after suspend and smbmount (laptop)

OK.

This is Kernel 2.4.3.

If I smbmount an exported filesystem from another GNU/Linux machine and then suspend my laptop, after I resume I am unable to use the network at all.

I really think this is a bug raised by another bug. The xirc2ps_cs Ethernet Cardbus driver has a bug where after a suspend I have to eject the card and then insert it again and then run 'ifup eth0'. I think it actually may be a bug in my cardbus but I don't know.

Anyway Linux won't unload (rmmod xirc2ps_cs) because the smbfs is using it. :( If force smbfs to unmount maybe this could be resolved but as we all know an 'umount -f /mnt/MOUNT' doesn't really force :(

Anyway. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. If I unmount *before* I suspend then everything works fine. The problem is that sometimes I forget! :(
