WIth this one, restarting the entire PCMCIA subsystem usually clears 
this.  If the distro has really badly written network start/stop 
scripts, you may have to tweak around a bit with those or manually 
bring up an interface afterward, but haven't run into any wireless 
cards yet that needed a complete reboot.
