Subject: 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.

That reports no errors.
