Xircom CreditCard Ethernet IIps are said to be > supported. From > http://home.jp.FreeBSD.org/~toshi/PAO3/SUPPORTED.CARDS, I dunno about PAO, but the IIps is only semi-supported on my stock xe driver (which comes with 3.3 and 3.4; you shouldn't need PAO to use it). For 'semi-supported' read "it might work, it might not, we haven't worked out why yet". Probably shouldn't mention this now, but you'd have been better off with a Xircom CE3 card -- not only will it connect to 100Mbit networks, but they generally work out of the box with the xe driver. Definitely worth joining the freebsd-xircom list while you get this sorted out.
