Shad has been having similar problems with one of his adapters.
He added a 5-second sleep before fetching the lease and it appears to
have helped.

I already have a 2-second sleep before running "cardmgr" to activate
the PCMCIA devices, so something is definitely a little strange here.
I am not sure what to make of it, or even how to debug it...

Anyway, the next release (due in a few days) might work better for
you.

By the way, is your network actually 10 megabit (not 100)?

Nah, just a silly bug.  The cardmgr utility insists on running a
"network startup" script, but we have our own.  I just forgot to make
it executable.  Fixed in next release.
