My opinion:

In fact, I'm *interested* in whether Xircom's card works under our
package, but I don't know whether it works because I don't want to buy
Xircom's card.

I heard from Linux community that Xircom has violated GPL (they used
GPL'ed code for their driver, and they did not provide sources).  This
is one of the largest reason why I don't want to support Xircom's
cards.

If it's not true and if there is a driver for Xircom's card, I could
distribute driver for Xircom's cards.
