Since you have have docs for this card, any ideas on why it likes to signal at least one watchdog timeout when inserted and ifconfig'd? I also have noticed that if I boot the machine with the card in the slot, the kernel is unable to attach, but slotting it after pccardd is up works fine. I have the Intel branded xe0, if it matters. This is all under 4.7-STABLE. I don't use it much anymore, as my current laptop has an onboard miniPCI 3com xl0 driven NIC, but I do need two interfaces on occasion so I keep it around. I can test anything you like or provide any output you want.
