[ltp] More EtherJet troubles...

I managed to setup my IBM EtherJet 10/100 CardBus adapter, but it can
neither send nor recieve packets. I configured /etc/pcmcia/network.opts
and /etc/pcmcia/config. 

When I run cardctl status 0 I get:
"3.3V cardbus card present
 Function 0: ready"

After that, when I try to ping 192.168.0.2 (on my local network), I get
timeouts.

When I run /etc/pcmcia/network start eth0, I get no errors.

Now, when I try to ping 192.168.0.2, I don't get anything at all - not
even timeouts.

When I now run ifconfig eth0, I get:
eth0	Link encap: Ethernet  HWaddr: 00:06:29:52:AD:59
	inet addr:192.168.0.4  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
	UP BRODCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500 Metric:1
	RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
	TX packets:0 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
	collisions:0 etxqueuelen:100
	Interrupt:3 Base address:0x200

I am running this on a ThinkPad i1560 with SlackWare 7 installed. The
card is in socket 0. I am using the tulip_cb driver. Here is my
/etc/pcmcia/config entry for the card:

card "IBM EtherJet Cardbus Adapter 10/100"
  manfid 0x00a4, 0x0113
  bind "tulip_cb" to 0, "serial_cb" to 1

I can get the "link" LED, and occasionally the transmit one (they are
probably collisions), but I'm still not getting packets.

Any help with this would be great. Thanks!

BTW - I've checked MANY PCMCIA How-To's and lots of i series pages. None
have helped much.
