I have a Thinkpad T20 which is working nice with a memory and hard 
drive upgrade, running WinXP SP2.  I just added a 3Com Mini-PCI combo 
ethernet/modem card.  Strangely, WinXP now freezes during loading but 
only on warm reboots -- never a problem on hard starts.  I verified 
the card is the culprit by removing it and confirming no problem.  
Also, the card is otherwise working perfectly.  Things I've tried so 
far:  older, newer 3Com drivers, changing PM and wake-on-LAN 
settings, changing PCI configuration in BIOS.  I don't think it's 
SP2, because I reinstalled a fresh version of XP, starting with the 
original version of XP (no service packs) and it happened also, 
before I added SP2.  Also happens when warm rebooting in safe mode.  
Again, there's never a problem during a cold start.  Any ideas would 
be appreciated.

Thanks
