Hi,

No, it's no cardbus card. In fact is it listed in the "FreeBSD 4.5
Hardware Notes" under "Xircom CreditCard adapters (16 bit) and
workalikes (xe driver)" as a supported card: "Xircom CreditCard Ethernet
10/100".

As I wrote in my original post, the card is recognized by pccardd as
device "xe0". If I use /stand/sysinstall to configure it (IP, gateway
etc.) it is not in the list of known interfaces. Besides lp0, sl0, and
ppp0 there is a device faith0. Configuring it has no effect: removing
and reinserting the card with device faith0 configured makes pccardd
print the message:

  Apr 27 18:47:56  pccardd[41]: driver allocation failed for
  Xircom(CreditCard 10/100): Device not configured

Any furhter ideas?

Regards
Lutz
