Can you ping from both ends?

It's static.  Just put it in /tmp and execute:
------------------
/tmp/busybox httpd
------------------
Remember to start it from the directory you want to serve.

It means something is bad.  Forget about httpd (or any other server)
until you can ping from both ends.

What does the following say:
-------------
cardmgr -o -v
-------------

If nothing is found (when card is in slot), you probably have 
a hardware problem.
