Hi,

I just upgraded my old NEC Versa to 3.4-RELEASE (went from 3.2-RELEASE
with cvsup, no problems at all, took 14 hours to do a buildworld), and now
I'm trying to get my PCMCIA modem and ethernet cards working.  I took a
stab at it before, but couldn't get it, so I put it off.

My modem card is a US Robotics Megahertz XJ1336.  Booting up with it in
gives "driver allocation failed for U.S. Robotics," and then pccardd
runs.  Running pccardd -d and pulling it out and pushing it in gives the
same errors as at the start of the output of pccardc dumpcis, which I'll
include below.  

I copied a fresh pccard.conf.sample to /etc/pccard.conf, so that's up to
date.  What would cause the driver allocation failure? 

Here's the pccardc dumpcis output:
