Hi Laurent - I have 3.4-Stable running on my laptop, ThinkPad 600. XFree86 3.3.4 and xdm are running as well. No problem there. Cannot boot directly to X? Did you create xsession in your home directory? If not, please do. /etc/pccard.conf.sample should have the list of Xircom cards. And, yes, you can remove all entries that you don't use.
