OK, looked under /var/lib/pcmcia/stab and there it is :

Socket 1: Xircom RealPort2 10/100 Fast Ethernet
1      network xirc2ps_cs       0        eth0

cardmgr beeps at me when I remove it so it knows its there. The error message at startup was :

Bring up interface eth0. Delaying eth0 interogation [Failed]

Everything else has an [OK] after it.
