I was checking around to see if Xircom or Intel PCMCIA network adapters
were supported under FreeBSD, and was disappointed to see that they
weren't.

I did some research on Linux's support of these cards, and I found a
driver:

/* [xirc2ps_cs.c wk 14.04.97] (1.31 1998/12/09 19:32:55)
 * Xircom Creditcard Ethernet Adapter IIps driver
 *
 * This driver works for the CE2, CEM28, CEM33, CE3 and CEM56 cards.
 * The CEM56 has some problems, but it works.
 * The CEII card with the 14k4 modem and other old cards do not work.
 *
 * Written by Werner Koch (werner.koch@guug.de),
 * based on David Hinds skeleton driver.
 *
 * You can get the latest driver revision from
 *      "http://www.d.shuttle.de/isil/xircom/xirc2ps.html"
 *


Now, the driver is GPL'ed, but...

Anyone interested in working/collaborating on a port?  :-)

[I am currently shopping for a laptop and will probably acquire one in the
next month]
