	If it really is a cardbus device, no, FreeBSD does not at 
   this time support Cardbus cards. If it is this, however:

# Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + modem (Ethernet part)
card "Xircom" "CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56"
        config  0x27 "xe0" ?
        insert  logger -t pccard:$device -s Xircom CreditCard Modem inserted
        insert  /etc/pccard_ether $device
        remove  logger -t pccard:$device -s Xircom CreditCard Modem removed
        remove  /sbin/ifconfig $device delete


   then I would say "Yes, it does." :-)

	Support for Cardbus cards should be a feature in 5.0.
