This does seem weird. One of my laptops is a Dell Inspiron 3500, and my Dell/3com card works flawlessly in it. The card also works well in my Compaq.
I am running frozen on both of them with 2.2.14 and current pcmcia sources, I never run a stock kernel, although I have used this 3com card for an install.
