I've emailed Xircom repeatedly to try to get the same info, but after initially telling me that they'd 'pass my request to a product specialist' (?) they've steadfastly ignored me. If any other FreeBSD-ites with non-working Xircom kit feel like bugging them about this, it would probably help. There is a form on the support section of www.xircom.com that they do actually seem to read and respond to.
