I found this to be a problem with my PowerBook 5300 as well. The PB
doesn't have built-in ethernet, so I was using a PCMCIA card. I think the
problem has to do with NCU since NTK seemed to connect without problems.
I discovered that opening the NCU preferences and closing it before
trying to connect sometimes helped.
