Those messages are normal, except for the watchdog timeout.  The usual
cause of that particular problem is pccardd assigning the wrong IRQ line to 
the card -- Xircom hardware ssems to be picky about this.

What do you have in your /etc/pccard.conf entry for xe0?

What IRQ was the card using with SuSE?  You probably want to use the same
one with BSD.

Those cards definitely work with the xe driver... if you can, run tcpdump
(or something similar) on the other end of the wire just to convince
yourself that packets are going out...

Cheers,
