I have an old Compaq laptop with a PCMCIA based D-Link network card.
The card model is DL-650. I am running Netbsd -current 1.5ZA. 

i did ifconfig ne2 <myip> <netmask> up
and a kernel message
pcmcia0: card irq 10
came, 

and i tried to ping a local machine. The dest machine gets arp queries and that
replies 
to it. But on my laptop, the ne2 cards seems unable to pick up any of the
messages.
I keep getting ne2: timeout and ping says host is down. I dont think there is
any
irq conflict (from what i guess looking at the bootup messages). What could be
the 
problem ?
