I have that exact same card in a Pentium 133 system.  It's a good card.

This sounds silly, but try removing and reseating the card in the slot.
Really ...  I've had cards that have been installed for ages where the
electrical contact on the pins oxidizes and then the card becomes flakey,
and this specific card has done that to me.  If you have "tuner cleaner" or
some other electronic contacts cleaner, use that on the card edge connector.

The MAC address should not be FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF - that is a sign of a
communication problem with the card or a hardware fault.  You should check
your BIOS settings for any sign of a conflict with another card, but PCI
BIOSes are pretty good about that so that is probably not your problem.
