I'm trying to run a 3Com 3c389D Etherlink III card in a Compaq Presario
1610 laptop, running PCCard support.  When I plug in my card, the kernel
tells me that the card is detected, and it is loading the ep0 driver.
When I try to do anything, however, I get very disappointing results.
Ping always has 100% packet loss, yet netstat -r gives a full and detailed
network table, complete with ethernet addresses.  Traceroute also gives me
returns, hopping from host to host, but at a return time of 2,000ms.
Clearly, there is network traffic, but why is it so slow?

This very same card works on a Winbook XP of mine, another laptop running
2.2.7, but it uses the zp0 driver.  That notebook uses the card fine,
without any hassle (it's a 486 if that's important).  

I've attempted to change the settings of /etc/pccard.conf to specify a
proper irq and/or mem settings, but so far to no avail.   Here is the
output of dmesg, when I'm not attempting to use the card:  
ep0 not found at 0x300
npx0 flags 0x1 on motherboard
npx0: INT 16 interface
apm0 on isa
apm: found APM BIOS version 1.1
sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
sb0: <SoundBlaster Pro 3.1>
sbmidi0 not found at 0x330
PC-Card VLSI 82C146 (5 mem & 2 I/O windows)
pcic: controller irq 3
Initializing PC-card drivers: ep sio
Intel Pentium F00F detected, installing workaround

Could someone please help me?  I really need the ethernet card in my newer
laptop.  Thanks for your time and attention.
