NOTICE: The information in this document, including products and software versions, are current as of the Release Date indicated below. This document is subject to change without notice.

Description:

The operating system produces an error when the network cable is detached, or the PC Card is stopped and ejected.

Windows NT - "KMODE Exception Error"

Windows 95 - "Exception 06, or 0D"

Resolution:

This issue is not specific to any Compaq platform or product line. The NDIS specification requires that the network driver report the status of the network cable to the operating system. When these conditions are reported, the operating system produces an error.

Madge has incorporated a solution into their driver. Modify the driver's properties to enable this feature:

(1) Right-click on the Network Neighborhood icon.

(2) Select Properties.

(3) Double-click on the Madge Card.

(3) Select the Advanced tab.

(4) Change the "Warn if no lobe cable" value to "NO".

Note: This solution is specific to the Madge driver. Some PC Cards may not provide support for this feature. If this feature is not an option, users should refrain from detaching the NIC cable, or stopping and ejecting the PC Card while the system is in use.
