CardBus is not supported at all in 4.x.  If you want to use this card
you'll have to upgrade to 5.x (which should be less of a scary option now
that 5.1-R is nearly here).  I'm pretty sure that the RBEM cards do work
with 5.x, although I can't remember which driver they use.  The xe driver
only supports 16-bit Xircom cards, though.  Their CardBus stuff uses
entirely different hardware.

Cheers,
