Well, it works fine with the IBM 10/100 card, so I guess it's some kind of incompatibility betweeb the card in the no-name machine and the Xircom PCMCIA. Thanks again for the help. I would probably have been less likely to think about the hardware had it not been for your comment. I still like not having the dongle. They're too easy to break. Maybe, if I'm lucky, it will still be possible to get a firmware upgrade for this Xircom card and perhaps that'll fix the problem.
