When I'm using ethernet from my laptop, I'm usually within reach of a
power outlet; the only time I unplug is when I'm leaving and taking
the computer with me..

With the version of John Kohl's apm+pcmcia stuff I'm currently using,
I have a manual "disconnect" script which I run before disconnecting
from the network.

Besides killing off ntp, named, and a few other daemons, it does a:

	ifconfig ep0 down
	ifconfig ep0 delete
	route flush
	<random hair to flush arp table>
	pcmcia_cntrl 0 unconf
	pcmcia_cntrl 0 off

I then put the machine to sleep with `zzz'.

I've got a second "reconnect" script which reverses this..
