Debian 2.4.22 (host) / Atmel pcmf502rd (PCMCIA) sharing internet -> Windows Asus CF WLAN card w/PCMCIA adaptor

Hi,
 
Trying to get an atmel based PCMCIA card working under Debian / 2.4.22 but i
am not able to ping between 2 cards.
 
eth0 is a integrated lan card in the laptop, eth1 is an pcmcia card, and
eth2 the wireless
eth1 connects to internet using pppoe
eth0 is used to share internet on a wired network.
 
ifconfig:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:0E:B1:70:EE

I have tried different ways to establish a connection. When using
infrastructure or AP_Mode they don;t see eachother.
 
When i use ad-hoc they see eachother but i can;t ping them.
 
both ip's are set manually.
 
I want to connect a windows XP machine using a Asus CF WLAN card (on a
pcmcia - cf adaptor) to the debian system.
 
They see eachother but i can;t ping them. When i do the same between 2
windows machines i can establish a connection, ping and send data
across/share internet.
But my problem seems to be lying with debian. How can i get this fixed?
Using lvnet to configure the cards. Have used iwconfig also, but that
doesn;t work either.
 
Looked through several guides but can;t find what i am doing wrong.
 
Any help/suggestion/manuals etc is welcome. I don;t care what method i have
to use, even if it;s unsecure, just want to get internet shared on it. If
someone else uses the connection illegaly, i don;t even care.. Just need
internet on the windows laptop :)
 
A list of some sites i tried:

If someone can point me to a guide on how to setup the atmel card correctly
on debian or can explain me what i have to do/try.
 
Thanks in advance,
