So I have been periodically checking in with each minor 
update/snap/beta/rc to 5.x to see if My Xircom RBE-100 will work. Since 
others seem to have the same card (plus modem) working it seems like 
the plain ol' RBE-100 has a good shot at working. I have been doing 
searches though mail archives.. and if there is some instruction I am 
missing I am sorry but I don't know the magic incantation to make this 
sucker work. I know it's a good card because it works great under 
NetBSD with no hassle.

Hardware in question is a IBM Thinkpad 600X with a Xircom RealPort 
RBE-100(ethernet only)
It's booting from the 5.1-RELEASE Disc 1 ISO

I get fun stuff like:

cardbus1: Bad header in rom0: [0] ffff
...
dc0: No station address in CIS!
device_probe_and_attach: dc0 attach returned 6


etc..


it does however seem to locate the device earlier in the boot process.. 
just fails miserably afterwards. I will keep searching but any advice 
would be appreciated.
