suspend/resume on TP23 not working with IBM EtherJet Cardbus

A recent lightning strike on the house wiped out my T23's miniPCI Ether net card and I had to find a PCMCIA replacement. The one I found is an IBM EtherJet Cardbus model. At first it crashed the system with a Trap d every time it went into the slot. Then i found and downloaded pccarden.zip, installed it and found in the readme that this card is a 'point enabler' (whatever that means) and one of the slots has to be removed from the card director's control by attaching a protocol to IBM2SS14.sys for it to work.
Now there is an ethernet connection to the ADSL modem/router again, but unfortunately suspend/resume doesn't work. If I close the DHCP lease and remove the card its possible to suspend the machine, but after resuming, DHCP can't establish a new lease.
Any suggestions of what to do or where to look for assistance much appreciated

Well, I'm selling new laptops like this one with eCS pre-loaded.

To get your existing T23 to work better, maybe all that is needed is to refresh the TCP/IP stack a little bit.

First, kill dhcpmon.exe in whatever way you like. Then execute these commands to down and up the network card.

dhcpmon -t
ifconfig lan0 down
ifconfig lan0 delete
route -fh
arp -f
dhcpstrt -i lan0 -d 10
