I have one of those, and I never have gotten it to work. Same thing
happens, it comes up and it looks like everything is OK (the pccardd
messages look fine as does ifconfig(8) output), but it just doesn't
work. Warner actually got one to wok with this fall, but last I knew,
his did not work either.

I have used several 3Com5X9 cards in different PCs and they have
worked fine.
