Ahum...

I've had something like this with the IBM 750 and a Maxtor
Harddrive... It seemed that the PCMCIA interface in the IBM is not
really perfect... As you state: The software recognizes everything,
but working... NO! I simply sent the PCMCIA card back...

Try to get a PCMCIA Ethernet card that IBM suggests...

The Thinkpad is beautiful, but IBM still is the only one not
compatible!!!
