I have a XJEM3288 in my laptop using VLMs.  When I first installed the
card, I experience a problem similar to yours.  To correct the
problem, I had to load the network drivers in this order:
	LSL
	ENABLE     (sets up XJEM3288)
	MHZETH    (ODI driver for XJEM3288)
	IPXODI
	VLM

I figure that this might be helpful.
