Try: card "Xircom" "CreditCard Ethernet+Modem 28.8" config auto "xe" ? insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop It is possible that the pccard_ether script does not do just what you want, but a simple 'ifconfig xe0 up' is not going to get you too far. In stable, you must generally choose to use the card either as a modem or as a NIC, but not both at once. I THINK it might work with the sio section removed from pccard.conf and only the xe referenced. Exactly what model of card do you have? There are a lot of similar Xircom cards and some do have problems, but I think this one is OK. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
