First, the insert and remove lines probably won't do the job. Try:
card "Xircom" "CreditCard Ethernet+Modem 28.8"
config auto "xe" ?
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start
remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop
It is possible that the pccard_ether script does not do just what you
want, but a simple 'ifconfig xe0 up' is not going to get you too far.
In stable, you must generally choose to use the card either as a modem
or as a NIC, but not both at once.
I THINK it might work with the sio section removed from pccard.conf
and only the xe referenced.
Exactly what model of card do you have? There are a lot of similar
Xircom cards and some do have problems, but I think this one is OK.
