Yeah, that sounds exactly the same as my problem.  I have recently
learned about the media option for ifconfig.  I tried starting a fixit
console directly after the installer started and running:

ifconfig ep0 media 10base2/BNC

This worked fine and switched the connection.  The problem is, this now
causes the machine to _HANG_ if I try and change any settings.  So I
plugged it back into a hub.  Nothing happens, no light on the hub yet a
solid LED on the 3COM connector thing.

I have a Gateway Solo and I'm fairly sure the PCMCIA card is supported
because it probes the card fine, it just fails to work.

I'll post a followup if I find out any more.

  Thanks for your info,

-lewiz.
