PCMCI Networkcard not supported?

["Stephan Splitthoff" <splitti@air.shs.owl.de>]

Hi!

I have installed Debian2.1 on my lifebook and used a pcmcia network card of
I friend. No Problem.

Now, I bought one (not the same card) and get some errors.
If I insert the card the following messages appear...

cardmgr[xxx]: initializing socket 0
cardmgr[xxx]: socket 0: NE2000 Compatible Fast Ethernet
cardmgr[xxx]: executing: `insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14/net/8390.o`
cardmgr[xxx]: ececuting: `insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.o`

I thin, till now, it looks good?!
Then...

kernel: pcnet_cs: unable to read hardware net address
cardmgr[xxx]: get dev info on socket 0 faild: Operation not supported by
device


I can give the output of cardmgr `status` and `ident`, maybe it help you, by
helping me?! ;-)

cardmgr status
Socket 0:
5V 16-bit PC-Card
function 0: [busy]. [wp]


cardmgr ident
Socket 0:
product info: "PCMCIA", "FAST ETHERNET CARD"
manfid 0xffff, 0x1090
function: 6 (network)


Is that card not supported, or have I made a mistake?
The card in general is ok, I also run Win98 on the laptop, and there the
card works.
