I'm trying to run a 3Com 3c389D Etherlink III card in a Compaq Presario
1610 laptop, running PCCard support.  When I plug in my card, the kernel
tells me that the card is detected, and it is loading the ep0 driver.
When I try to do anything, however, I get very disappointing results.
Ping always has 100% packet loss, yet netstat -r gives a full and detailed
network table, complete with ethernet addresses.  Traceroute also gives me
returns, hopping from host to host, but at a return time of 2,000ms.
Clearly, there is network traffic, but why is it so slow?

This very same card works on a Winbook XP of mine, another laptop running
2.2.7, but it uses the zp0 driver.  That notebook uses the card fine,
without any hassle (it's a 486 if that's important).
