[tulip] Problems with SMC EZ 10/100 Cardbus Card

[Michael Thaler]

Hello!

I have a SMC EZ 10/100 Cardbus Ethernet Card, Version SMC8034TX. I
want to use the card with my Sony VAIO F212 (which is also known as
Sony VAIO F104K). I am using debain unstable with kernel 2.4.9 and
pcmcia-cs-version 3.1.28 which I compiled from the source with
debian/rules binary-modules and installed the module with dpkg. I also
have a noname NE2000 compatible 10 mbit ethernet card (no cardbus)
which works just fine. I did not compile the pcmcia-drivers in the
kernel.

There are two drivers in /etc/pcmcia/config:

card "SMC EZ 10/100 Fast Ethernet"
  manfid 0x01bf, 0x2220
  bind "tulip_cb"

card "SMC EZ 10/100 Fast Ethernet"
  manfid 0x01bf, 0x2225
  bind "tulip_cb"

When I insert my card, the computer makes 2 high beeps and everything
seems to work fine.

lsmod says:

tulip_cb        32160   2
cb_enabler       2752   2 [tulip_cb]
ds               6864   2 [cb_enabler]
i82365          22480   2
pcmcia_core     42880   0 [cbenabler ds i82365]

Here are the relevant parts from dmesg:

Everything seems just fine as far as I understand that. But when I try
to ping a computer in the network, I don't get any response. All
packets are lost. I also got some warnings: Watchdog: NETDEV timeout
(I hope I remember that right, its probably not literal). When I use
my NE2000 compatible card in the same network environment everything
works just fine. If I boot Win2000 on the same computer and use the
SMC EZ 10/100 Cardbus Card with Win2000 everything works fine, too. So
the card seems and the cables seem to be o.k.

(I translate that from German)
Windows shows me:

PCI Bus 129, Device 0, Function 0

Resources:

Memoryrange: FFDFEC00-FFDFEFFF
IRQ: 9

I would really appreciate any help or any hints how to track down the
problems. I saw other people had the same problems. I read some of the
mails in the archive, but I did not understand how to solve the
problem.

Greetings,
Michael
