I have a Xircom CE3B-100BTX 10/100 PCCard that has always worked sort-of okay 
with the STABLE xe driver when set up with a fixed IP address.  There's always 
been the minor problem that it suffers one watchdog timer alarm before being 
successfully configured.  With a fixed IP, that's no real problem, but with 
DHCP, dhclient gets confused by the watchdog and fails consistantly.

What the manual calls the "Link Integrity" LED on the dongle stays off until 
the watchdog timer power cycles the card.

If someone with some experience with this driver can shed some light on the 
problem, dhclient and I would appreciate it.
