pcmcia nic problems

im using an NEC infomover 4100 pcmcia nic . nettrap detects it as a
ne2000 , when i do a io-net -dne2000 i get repeated over and over
again:

ne2000_outs: Unable to set write address

can anyone help?? im really under the gun here to get this working… i
have to do a demo on monday and i would really like to have a working
laptop with a nic connection so i can do last minute updates to my
embedded thingy that im demo’ing
