Cardbus support is not in the generic kernel. Build a cardbus kernel,
taking NEWCARD as a starting point. Going that route I got the
ethernet port of my Xircom CBEM56G-100 ("CBEM" not "RBEM" as you have)
recognized. To recognize the modem, a patch to sio.c is needed. I
recently got a hint from Warner Losh on how to do it, but due to lack
of time haven't completed yet. Look for the thread "Cardbus status"
on this list if you'd like to see his recommendation.
