Transmission errors for Xircom RealPort2 10/100 Cardbus NIC.

I am having a real interesting time with the Xircom card and
kernel-2.2.16. All transmission packets from the NIC are being flagged for
errors while all received packets are fine. The card is in a Twinhead
P88TE Cardbus PCMCIA slot. Eradicate errors like total packet loss, 1
packet out of 4 returning fine with ping, and others are causing me to be
concerned. The module I am using is tulip_cb.

I got these details from ifconfig.

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:A4:B9:6C:D2
          inet addr:10.0.0.4 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:965 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:983 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:983
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          Interrupt:3 Base address:0x100

I checked the file /proc/net/dev

That reports no errors.
