As long as it's a 16 -bit card and not a CardBus card, it should be fine. Xircom makes both. Xircom support has been in FreeBSD since 3.4 (although temporarily lost in 4.0). I use mine all the time. If it's a CardBus card, it will not work in 4.x-Stable. You will have to use -current. It is widely reported that the Xircom card works pretty well in current, but I would suggest not trying to run current unless you have time to hack kernel code and rebuild your system a LOT. R.
