Problem with Linksys 10/100 CardBus on a Digital laptop

I am trying to get a Linksys 10/100 CardBus card to work on a Digital HiNote
VP765 under Linux.  I have tried the 0.90q version of the tulip driver with a
number of options and with pcmcia-cs 3.0.5 and 3.0.9, all with no success.

What I see is the card is recongnized, the driver is loaded, and then I just get
the message "Tx hung" constantly.  When I hook it up to a switch, the
negotiation works fine, the switch sends packets, but nevers see any packets
from the card.  tcpdump shows no traffic into the card, and only ARP requests
out of the card.  The Link light is on the cable, and the activity light
flashes.

Linksys even sent me a replacement card, still no luck.  The card works fine
under Windows 95.

Any ideas?
