Hi. 

Just bumped into the same problem too. I used 2.4.5 kernel. I was able
to load xircom_tulip_cb module successfully, but then 100% of packets
were lost and I was not able to access any computer on my small
LAN. pcmcia_cs worked fine before and I suspect I'm going to switch
back to it sometime soon :-)
