I remember that some PCMIA ethernet cards use a point type driver
which enables the card independent of the general OS/2 PCMCIA drivers.
 You may try disabling the general OS/2 enabler for the particular
slot you are placing the card in.  It may also be necessary to reserve
the IRQ / IO resources required by the card at the beginning of config
sys.  But I'd try step one first, and see how you go.

Good luck.
