The PCMCIA Card is set on HD automatically, as a console message
after connecting says.
The ne2k-pci card, although, seems to be in FD mode as
ne2k-pci-diag says, but cannot be forced to HD mode.
Nevertheless the problem does not occur when running a 2.4.18 on the
laptop...
My idea is now to replace the hub with a switch.
