Maybe it's a case of the autoconfigurator not being able to
properly identify the PCMCIA card.  I've never really seen this
but I've only come across a KIT, Smart Modular Tech Modem, and
MHz.  Have you checked your autodrv.ini file?

Well, in this ONE case, I may be inclined to believe IBM since
they have shown quite a lot of discipline in adhering to standards
lately.

No, you're not.  The network card people are still going through
headaches. :)
