Installation pb

Hi everybody,

I have some trouble installing my PCMCIA (Cardbus) network card
on my laptop.
Here is my setup: kernel 2.4.18, Mandrake 8.1.
I downloaded netdrivers-3.5 from scyld.com.
the command `make' did work
(but I had to manually add a library path namely 
-I/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/egcs-2.91.66/include so that 
the compiler could find stdarg.h ...)

make install gave an error:
Unresolved symbols in cb_shim.o

Therefore, I tried to manually load the needed modules:
modprobe rtl8139
This works fine. It loads pci-scan as needed.

Then I try to configure my network card:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
This works fine too: eth0 shows up in the ifconfig output.

Now if I ping another machine (ping 192.168.1.1) from my laptop,
the system freezes.
By the way, if I ping the laptop network card from another computer 
(before it freezes), then I get ``destination host unreachable''.

In case it helps, here are the relevant part of the output of lspci -v 
and the output of rtl8139-diag:
