That is the exact same hardware and software configuration that I have.
Let me guess: you bought an "Attache" from Linux Laptops before they
folded, right?
At any rate, mine works, so yours should too.
Your second message is very enlightening:
Running single user and starting pcmcia by hand results in this
message:
> eth0: found link beat
> eth0: link partner did not autonegotiate
This is normal, I see this every time too.

You've got an ipchains problem. Your output firewall is blocking the
ping packets. If you run "ipchains -L output" as root, you will most
likely see some firewall rules. If you run "ipchains -F output", your
ping problem will most likely go away (but be careful; the rules may be
there for a reason).
