Hi !
I am using a PLANET PCMCIA Ethernetcard of the type ENW-3502 in my laptop
which is supposed to be NE2000 compatible. Using pcmcia-cs-3.0.9 with
options for pcnet_cs as io=0x300 and irq=3 I obtain the following logs:

[sorry for the long list but it doesn't take much time to produce it :)]

I get this with kernel-2.0.36 as well as with 2.2.10. I don't believe this
is a problem with cable since I can reproduce it with either BNC or RJ45
connections.
Do you have any suggestions about this ?

If you need more information or let me do some tests, just let me know.

Thank you
