The problem must be either a general PCMIA issue, or a problem with
the 8139too driver being compiled-in instead of being a module.

I have given up trying with the 2.4.18-bf2.4 and changed to the kernel 
2.4.18-686, and would like to see if the 8139too driver can now be 
compiled.  The latest file (from the Realtek site) has this Makefile:

Looking at the cardctl output from your card, I think the 8139too module 
provided with 2.4.18-686 ought to work.  Remember that your mandrake 
install worked without needing to compile a separate driver.

boot into the new kernel, and:

# modprobe pcmcia
# modprobe yenta_socket
# modprobe 8139too
# ifconfig eth0 up


# Makefile for a basic kernel module

# This flag specifies access type to operation register on PCI \

The above line defines RTL_MEM_ACCESS, but is commented out.  Take off
the leading #

MODCFLAGS := -O6 -Wall -DCONFIG_KERNELD -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ \
-DLINUX  -D${RTL_MEM_ACCESS}


all: 8139too

8139too:        8139too.c /usr/include/linux/version.h
                $(CC) $(MODCFLAGS) -I$(NEW_INCLUDE_PATH) -c \
8139too.c -o [EMAIL PROTECTED]
'make' fails because of the '-D${RTL_MEM_ACCESS}'.  Can anybody tell 
me what this is intended to be.  Is it an item that needs editing 
(not according to the instructions in the readme), or is it an 
environment variable that Realtek expect to be available, or what.  
It is evidently interpreted as '-D'.

TIA
