I made an error in my report this morning: lsmod does return the use of pcnet_cs.o module. (Darn, go figure I should prompt lsmod when the pcmcia services are still initializing.) But yeah, all the modules are there, and furthermore:
ping 192.168.1.254 returns an average of .1 ms (so hooray I am getting a ping to my eth1). Futhermore, I was not connecting my cat-5 to a hub, I was connecting it directly to my PC network card, hence it was male to male (yuck). I decided to use a cross-over cable and lo and behold, there appeared a bright green led on my eth1.
But still, using this cross-over cable connection, I am still not able to ping from PC to router.
Okay, now I guess I need to provide you with some info. But before I continue, is it possible to establish a connection with a cross-over cable, or do I require a network hub? (my-oh-my the intricacies.)

Well, there you have it. I hope that I have provided enough info. Do you think that I need a hub? Do you think that the cross-over cable (I think it's called RJ45) is sufficient to establish a connection ...
Anyhow, so close yet so far, life is like two cosmic sugar dognuts embracing a pulsing hourglass, spewing in and out, in and out. All is conserved.
