If you got to the point of getting a lease from the DHCP server, you
got further than I did with the PCM100 card. On my install, NetBSD 1.5.2
and a Compaq Presario 12XL125, the 'ne' driver found the 'Combo'
card instead of the PCM100, and then indicated that the driver had
'lost the card'... well of course if it was really looking for a Combo...

I happen to have an older Combo Card and 'solved' the connectivity
problem for the moment, and have not got back to the quest of 'why 
doesn't
this work'.

I'm trying to get the wife out of town for her seminar presentation, so 
perhaps

this week end I can spend a few minutes, hours, or what to find out why
the card is not seen correctly.
