caused by Xircom shipping several types of cards, all slightly different from each other. It now appears that it's caused by a problem in the Xircom driver in the PCMCIA package, which was fixed a few weeks ago by Ingo Molnar. A new PCMCIA package came out a few days ago (see http://sourceforge.net/projects/pcmcia-cs/) which claims to have an update to the Xircom driver; whether this update includes Ingo's patch I don't know - I haven't installed it yet.
I got that package 3.1.21 and installed it. It installed fine, but doesn't make any difference.
The workaround (which I'm currently using) is to put the ethernet device into promiscuous mode with:
ifconfig eth0 promisc
I also tried this, but it doesn't seem to make any difference either. One funny thing though. Last night I tried: ping -f 10.0.0.2 and out of around 1000 packets 2 got through. So there is life somewhere. Maybe this indicates some sort of timing problem.
