Hi, I had similar problems with this card. I edited the script /etc/pcmcia/network to contain the line ifconfig $DEVICE down up after the line /sbin/ifconfig $DEVICE up $IPADDR $NM $BC $MTU in the "$IPADDR" section and also in the function bootp_setup to get dhcp working. The trick is somehow to restart the card/driver. To be honest, I don't know why this works. If somebody does know, please tell me, this is bothering me now since 1/2 year. cheers, Stefan
