Ethernet under UNIX



Hello everybody,
I have a strange problem running TCP/IP under SCO-Unix on a brandnew Thinkpad
360C. A collegue has a Thinkpad 750C on which he is running SCO-ODT 3.0. For
networking he has installed a 3COM 3C589 Etherlink III PCMCIA-Adapter. The
drivers are from the SCO LLI Drivers Release 3.3.0 (efs140). This configuration
runs very well. Now I tested the same configuration on my 360C and it doesn't
work. I used his harddisk, his Ethernetard, so the only thing different ist the
mashine itself (and his Bios, but is this important or UNIX?). When TCP/IP is
loading during booting the different Demaons (cpd, slink) tell me that the
Etherlink III Unit 0 is not present in PCMCIA Slot 1 (I am shure I used the
correct slot) and open on /dev/e3E0: No such device or address appeares.
Everything else works fine. 
Do you have an idea about the reason of the different behaviour and do you have
an idea how I can get it working?
Thank you in advance, Thomas 

PS.: I found another different behaviour. Both mashines have a 8MB DRAM card
installed. The 705C tells me during booting he has 120?? bytes free, the 360
only gives me 119?? Byte. From where do these differences come?
