Sorry, but CardBus devices are not supported in FreeBSD V4 at this time. They should be supported under V5 when it comes out hopefully later this year. > > I found the source for the right driver, xe, but when I try to compile > xe.c I get an error: "if_xe.c:138: card_if.h: No such file or > directory." First, you don't need to compile the separately. It should compile automatically when you build the kernel. If you got this message when trying to build the kernel, it's because you don't have device card in your configuration. You need both card and pcic for any PCCARD to be compiled into the kernel.

See the handbook section on kernel building if you don't know how to do this. Unfortunately this is not much help since the CardBus Xircom cards are not supported under V4. R.
