Strangeness w/all 3Com PC Cards

When ever I try to incert a 3Com PC card I get the following message

bitsy_pcmcia_configure_socket: socket=0 vcc=50 vpp=50 reset=0
bitsy_pcmcia_configure_socket: socket=0 vcc=50 vpp=50 reset=1
bitsy_pcmcia_configure_socket: socket=0 vcc=50 vpp=50 reset=0
cardmgr[61]: initializing socket 0
cardmgr[61]: socket 0: 3Com 589 Ethernet
cardmgr[61]: executing: 'modprobe 3c589_cs'

  8K FIFO split 5:3 Rx:Tx, auto xcvr
cardmgr[61]: executing: './network start eth0'

eth0: Transmit timed out!

  diagnostics: fifo 0808 net 0808 ethernet 0808 media 0808
eth0: command 0x5800 did not complete!

That last message, starting at NETDEV just keeps repeating. The system uses
a Xylinks card with no problem (except that it's not my card and I can't take
it from the office :/ )

I have tried w/ 3C589B 3C589D 3CCFE574BT 3CXE589ET

Any ideas why I'm having problems?

(btw, this stuff is great, all of the directions worked for me (except
Hyperterm couldn't do the upload and minicom worked great) and I'm starting
to experiement with this system.)
