Simon, Pascal,

Please provide more detail on these failures -- "it doesn't work" is 
unfortunately not enough to debug anything...

Specifically -- dmesg output, any kernel messages produced by if_xe 
or pccardd, the relevant parts of /etc/rc.conf and /etc/pccard.conf, 
your kernel config, if you're running a custom kernel.

While there are definitely (many) bugs in if_xe, especially with CE2 
cards, there are also apparently issues with configuring some cards 
in 4.4 and 4.5 that have nothing to do with the driver...

I'll make this point for the archives again: it is NOT necessary to 
build a custom kernel to use either PCCARD support or the if_xe 
driver; they're both in the GENERIC kernel.

Cheers,

	Scott
