Check netstat -i to see if you have excessive input/output errors or collisions. I recently had some problems with an ethernet card which were intermittent, and very hard to figure out. Ends up that one of the contacts inside the connector was bent, and was making less than ideal contact. I mention this, because the connectors on pcmcia NIC's are notoriously fragile.
