Debug info for (nonfunctional) "New" Lynksys Etherfast Cardbus

Hey all,
I see there's been some discussion about this card, and I'm another one of
the ones who got pulled in by the promise of linux compatibility only to get
the "new" version of the card (as referred to by Nathan Anderson on the
linux-tulip list on Dec 23
(http://www.tux.org/hypermail/linux-tulip/1998-Dec/0077.html and replies)
I also have made modification suggested by Donald, i.e.
-#define EEPROM_ADDRLEN 6
+#define EEPROM_ADDRLEN 8
in 0.90f and the card is still non-functional, though the hardware address
comes out looking normal now, which is a step in the right direction. So I
went into the driver and set TULIP_DEBUG to 10 (a nice high value) and
changed my /etc/pcmcia/config.opts so that the module is loaded with the
debug=100 option to get as much debugging as I could. Here are the results.
Where I work we have two types of network jacks, one that goes to a hub, the
other that goes to a switch. The process in each of the below cases goes as
follows:
1. plug dongle into card and line.
2. insert card (cardmgr then loads the driver)
3. bring up the interface with ifconfig
4. try pinging something (never worked)
5. wait a few minutes while the log grows
6. bring down interface with ifconfig
7. do a 'cardctl eject' to get cardmgr to remove the driver
8. eject card
I'm using cardservices 3.0.5, kernel 2.0.35 and tulip 0.90f with the
aformentioned modification.
So the messages produced by this process were:

Also, in an attempt to garner more info I ran tried to modify tulip-diag to
account for the change in EEPROM_ADDRLEN. Since tulip-diag has no
EEPROM_ADDRLEN variable I tried to mimic the change and may have gotten it
wrong. I changed lines 581-3 from
#define EE_WRITE_CMD (5 << 6)
#define EE_READ_CMD (6 << 6)
#define EE_ERASE_CMD (7 << 6)
to
#define EE_WRITE_CMD (5 << 8)
#define EE_READ_CMD (6 << 8)
#define EE_ERASE_CMD (7 << 8)
This had no effect on the output of tulip-diag, which I reproduce here for
convenience (this is with libmii)
./tulip-diag -p 0x280 -f -e -e -a -m -m -v

Link partner capability is 0000:.
Negotiation did not complete.
That was while connected to the switch without the interface up.
So there's all the info I have for now, I'd be willing to try other things if
necessary. Let me know if I left anything out. Any assistance would be
greatly appreciated, as It'd be nice (for me and others) to have this card
working.
Thanks in advance,
