The RealPort2 Xircom cards don't work on V4.4. There were some patches
posted fairly recently that should make it work, but there were still
some issues. Warner was working on these with Scott (the driver's
author) and I suspect we will have a fix as soon as they get a little
time, but for now all I can suggest is trying the patches and see how
it goes.

Search (probably on groups.google.com in "mailing.freebsd.mobile) for
"Xircom Ethernet driver patch for CE2 & CEM33". There was an initial
patch from Scott and a followup patch from Warner. Try to get both.
