I'm pleased to announce the first test release of my FreeBSD driver for Xircom PCMCIA Ethernet cards. Those of you receiving this mail directly rather than through -mobile have already expressed interest in testing and debugging the driver -- many thanks in advance! Please let me know if you want to be added/removed to/from the mailing list. The driver can be obtained from the URL: http://www.dcs.qmw.ac.uk/~scott/xe-drv/xe-drv.tar.gz This archive contains the two source files (if_xe.c and if_xereg.h) and a very brief set of installation instructions. I'm assuming that people are familiar with the mechanics of building new kernels and configuring PCMCIA cards under FreeBSD. Let me know if you need any help. The driver is only known to run under 3.0-RELEASE, but may well compile on other versions -- I don't know. It aims to support the following cards: CE2, CEM28, CEM33, CE3 and CEM56, and certain Intel and Compaq cards using the Xircom hardware. All the usual disclaimers apply: this code may cause your machine to sprout wings and fly out of your office window; you use it at your own risk. It (more or less) works for me on my particular setup, but YMMV. I won't have time to do much work on the code before Wednesday (thesis writing takes priority :), so that should give you all time to try it out and let me know what does (or more likely doesn't) work.
