Version of FreeBSD? PCCARD support is much better in 4.0 than it was in 3.4. It should be MUCH better under 5.0 (if I believe Warner Losh, and I do). Under 3.3, Xircom cards were not supported. (Well, you could get the driver from the author and install it yourself.) Problem description? What happens when you insert the card? Nothing? Error messages? To point out he most common problem, is it getting a usable IRQ? It seems that you will get the best results by specifying an explicit IRQ in the /etc/pccard.conf file. I use 9 because I know that it's otherwise unused, but I'm not using a Compaq PC. Most others seem to use IRQ 10. If the system runs Windows, try booting that and see what IRQ is used. Also, there is a Xircom specific mailer, freebsd-xircom@lovett.com. You might want to subscribe. Sent the request to majordomo@lovett.com R.
