Hi Cesar, I don't know the 300CT - is this an older model with 16-bit PCMCIA (ie. not CardBus) slots? If so, it might not work with the NEWCARD drivers that are the default in 5.3. The OLDCARD framework is still supported but not in the GENERIC kernel - you will need to build a new kernel from the OLDCARD config file (/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/OLDCARD). The RealPort card itself is definitely supported by the xe driver, so if we can get your system to recognise the card it should work just fine. Could you post a copy of /var/run/dmesg.boot from your machine to the list? We can check if there are any PCCARD drivers being loaded and whether it's worthwhile trying the OLDCARD kernel.
