The PCMCIA Card is set on HD automatically, as a console message after connecting says. The ne2k-pci card, although, seems to be in FD mode as ne2k-pci-diag says, but cannot be forced to HD mode. Nevertheless the problem does not occur when running a 2.4.18 on the laptop... My idea is now to replace the hub with a switch.
