OK, I got three replies so far and they are all good,
but I should have included more info.  This
card/cable/pcmcia slot are known-good because my
laptop dual-boots to Win2k and everything works fine,
in fact I just downloaded something at 400k in
windoze.  That pretty much eliminates the routing and
switching issues too, which I know aren't the problem
because Cisco stuff is my core competency (yes, I'm
actually good at *something* ;).  

This is an upgrade from Mandrache 8.1 to Free4.6 so I
know that this card works fine in the Nix world
(pretty old card, I use it for no-headache
compatibility).  As for the routing...I can no longer
reach my default gateway (I could before, not sure
what's broke now) and all my hosts are on the same
subnet since I'm at home.

BTW, for sanity's sake I forced the card and the
switch port to 10/half and didn't get anywhere.

Sigh.
