Just for documentation and whoever reads this thread in the future.
All my problems were fixed when I installed 4.5-RELEASE. I can
run with the PCMCIA controller set to autoselect or PCIC.
Thanks to all of you who chimed in with suggestions.
Bernie

Bernie,
i am writing this email to you from my toshiba tecra 8000
running FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE over a wireless PCMCIA link to my
gateway and then out to hub.freebsd.orfg. it works just fine.

i did not install via the PCMCIA but rather from CDROM. can
you do the same? once you have it installed, you can then try
the Xircom card. the problem may reside in the card, its
driver or some interaction.
only two items are different in our dmesg outputs...the
quantity of memory and the size of the hard disk.
