CardBus (32 bit) is not supported by STABLE, let alone any release. At
this time you need to run CURRENT to use CardBus cards. The Xircom
PCCARD combo cards will work with most recent releases. The exception
is 4.0.

I have been told that the PCCARD (16 bit) version is the only combo
card that will work both as a modem and as a LAN card, but I have not
ever tried it. You will find an entry in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf for
this. Something like:
# Xircom CreditCard Ethernet+Modem (Modem only !!!)
card "Xircom" "CreditCard Ethernet"
        config  0x23 "sio" ?

# Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + modem (modem part)
card "Xircom" "CreditCard Ethernet+Modem 33.6"
        config  0x23 "sio" ?
This is the serial port. The Ethernet port device is xe:
# Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + modem (Ethernet part)
card "Xircom" "CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56"
        config  0x27 "xe" ?
        insert  /etc/pccard_ether $device
        remove  /sbin/ifconfig $device delete

Note that you may well need to fiddle with the IRQ to get this card to
work. The IRQ is set by editing the '?' in the config line for the
device. Also, these are from 4.1.1-STABLE, not 4.1-Release, so there
are almost certain to be differences. Use your entries, not these.
If you need to make changes, create a /etc/pccard.conf with the
modified entries. Never edit files in /etc/defaults.
