no network connection with Acer TravelMate 737TL

I have a problem to connect to the dsl-rooter with the internal network card. With an PCMCIA card it works fine. The following script output was created when the PCMCIA card was not plugged in:

It seems for me, that with the network card no connection to the router could be established.
What can I do to get a connection with this card?

Regards,
Christian

I found the following entries in /var/log/messages
I hope this helps finding the problem.

Christian
