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.
