Please have a look at

There is an entry for [tulip_cb driver] [x86]:
[ Not recommended: support is experimental and unreliable ]
IBM 10/100 EtherJet CardBus
Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 CardBus
Xircom CBE2-100BTX, RBE-100BTX, R2BE-100BTX
Supported, but not recommended. You will find a lot of better supported cards.
