Well, given the description, your ethernet card is a PCMCIA
one... which means it's a module and can be unloaded and
reloaded.  Try doing that... or even more simply, just try
restarting networking on the machine... do a
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart" (or the like for whatever
distribution you're using) on your machine and see if it
works...
