The xe driver is built into the GENERIC kernel (on the 4.2 and 4.3 machines I have here; I believe the same is true for 4.4) so if the rest of your PCCARD system is working the card should at least be probed. > But I'm having some problems compiling it into the kernel.

You need to go back to the 4.4 GENERIC kernel or re-install the 4.4 kernel source and build a new one... > I do have pccard services being loaded at startup and it does try to load > the driver.

It's not immediately clear why it's not working... if you get the same behaviour with the 4.4 GENERIC kernel it might be worth posting the output of 'pccardc dumpcis' in case there's anything odd about this particular card. The CEM56/REM56 are usually pretty good, but I've never encountered a built-in one before.
