Mark,
Excellent diagnostic approach WRT virtual terminals.
The place to start your digging is clearly marked:
/etc/pccard_ether: not found
/etc/pccard_ether is a shellscript (`file /etc/pccard_ether` to see what I
mean). This means that it can be read, perhaps modified (`more
/etc/pccard_ether` to see what I mean).
I'd try something like
sh -v /etc/pccard_ether xe0 [... other args as appropriate]
... and see where it wedges.
Hope this helps !!
