Anyone else seeing ethernet errors on ep0 with a 3c589?

<root@flask:~> # netstat -I ep0 5

Large (netscape) ftp downloads are arriving corrupted, and scp is bailing
on me on like transfers:

   <root@flask:/depot/xpc0/netscape-4.05/src> # scp jfh@tan:apps/src/
   netscratch/communicator-v405-export.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar.gz .
   jfh@tan's password: 
   Local: Corrupted check bytes on input.
   lost connection

Oddly enough, I was able to install FreeBSD just fine with this card, and
on smaller downloads (emacs), I can get >800K Bps on a quite network.

Here's the output from ifconfig:

	<root@flask:~> # ifconfig ep0
	ep0: flags=9843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,LINK0,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 128.227.224.240 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 128.227.224.255
        ether 00:20:af:0e:4d:27 
 
Here's the entry in /etc/pccard.conf

	# 3Com Etherlink III 3C589B, 3C589C
	card "3Com Corporation" "3C589"
	        config  0x1 "ep0" 11
	        insert  echo 3Com Etherlink III inserted
	        insert  /etc/pccard_ether ep0 link0 -link1
	        remove  echo 3Com Etherlink III removed
	        remove  /sbin/ifconfig ep0 delete
	

The card is apparently an old "3c589", not "b", "c", or "d" -- is that
my problem? If so, has anyone gotten an SMC PCMCIA EliteCard to work
under FreeBSD?
