Problems getting my PCMCIA 3CCFE575BT ethernet adapter working

I have downloaded the 2.0.35-2 sources/headers and the pcmcia-cs-3.0.5
source.
I have tweaked the 3c575_cb.c file to include the card id info for the
3CCFE575BT
card (a later varient of the 3c575. I added the adapter info in the
/etc/pcmcia/config
per the instructions on one of the web pages on the pcmcia driver web
pages.
Finally, the pcmcia drivers load and work, the 3c575_cb driver loads and
the system log
shows that the card is getting recognized and configured, eth0 is being
created
and the network is getting started.

So far so good. I have configured my DNS, netmask, default gateway,
network, ip address,
host name and so on. However, when I try to access any network resource
using ping,
telnet and so on, the process just sits there. I have no idea what is
being waited on.
The only clue I have is that the indicator on the ethernet card shows
that the card thinks it is
accessing a 100BaseTX connection. When I boot Win98 on the machine, the
indicator shows
a 10BaseT connection.

Is there some further change to the internals of the 3c575_cb driver for
the card to be configured
properly? Do you think I have left something out in the process of
configuring my network?

I have read the NET-3 HOWTO fairly thoroughly, so I am fairly sure I
haven't misconfigured
my network.

Thanks in advance for your help!
