I have the Xircom Ethernet II 10/100 CBE2-100 (IIRC); someone
on the -mobile list said that only 5.X recognizes this card.
Both a floppy install of 5.2.1 and a CDROM 5.2.1 recognize
the Cardbus; but both poison almost immediately. --So, for now,
I'm sticking with 4.8 and looking for a PCMCIA card that
works with 4.8.
