Subject:   4.6-RELEASE problems with xinit, Xircom pccard ethernet

I just installed 4.6-RELEASE on a laptop, I'm having a couple of problems.


First, when I run xinit (as a non-superuser), the Xserver fails to start because it
tries and fails to write to a log file (/var/log/XFree86.0.log).

This never happened in previous versions -- is this a bug, or do I need
to set some new flag to stop it writing log files?

"X --help" gives no useful hints.


Second, my Xircom pccard ethernet/modem is not being recognized correctly:

Jul  3 19:34:40 blink /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 0
Jul  3 19:34:46 blink pccardd[48]: Card "Xircom"("16-bit Ethernet + Modem 56") [REM10] [1.00] matched "Xircom" ("16-bit Ethernet + Modem 56") [(null)] [(null)]
Jul  3 19:34:51 blink pccardd[48]: driver allocation failed for Xircom(16-bit Ethernet + Modem 56): Device not configured

Is there some configuration that has to be done here?  I believe that the
pccard setup is otherwise correct, since my Lucent 802.11b wireless card
works fine.


Any ideas on either of these?  Thanks.
