In '/etc/conf.modules'
alias eth0 pcnet_cs
options pcnet_cs irq=10 io=0x300

The module pcnet_cs probably doesn't support 100baseT yet.

No. IPv4=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (ie 192.168.0.1) and
IPv6=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (approximately)

I understand that you modified the startup scripts so that
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d,rc5.d/*pcmcia is executed before
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d,rc5.d/*network. Good.

Check up on that line './network start eth0'. That doesn't look
right. I'd recommend that you get rid of that, or modify it to
run the appropriate services, like '/sbin/ifup eth0' for example.
As indicated in another reply,
'/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0' will have to be
created. 'ifcfg-eth0' is usually generated in that directory
after you use the 'netconf' (text-based menu) or 'netcfg'
(X-based/GUI) commands.
Hope this helps,
L.G.
