I suspect several problems. First, the Xircom simply won't work under 4.0-Release. Support showed up about a month later in stable. 4.1-Release works fine. Second, you need to correct your conf file. There was an error in LINT. The correct line should be: device xe Note that the "0" and the "at isa?" are no longer there. This will make the card 'xe0' instead of 'xe1'. Make sure your pccard.conf is updated. If it has "insert echo" and "remove echo" lines, it's old. Check /etc/defaults/pccard.conf and make any /etc/pccard.conf lines look the same. Finally, you may need to specify the irq in /etc/pccard.conf. Replace the '?' in the conf line with the desired IRQ. 9 and 10 seem to be OK. I use 9. R.
