Regarding Xircom PC card Ethernet, ive got a Xircom CE3B-100BTX 10/100 nic
and was wondering does anyone know the URL of someone who has written
drivers to support this card, all the realport modems/nics are supported,
but my card isn't....

Subject: Re: [SLUG] pcmcia ethernet card problems
If you don't have the latest pcmcia-cs drivers, grab the source and
compile them.
My experience is with a Toshiba 2540, and with both Debian 2.1 and
Mandrake 7.0, neither the Xircom or 3Com cards I've used have worked with
the Toshiba. Compiling the latest version, reboot and it worked.
There's something in the pcmcia-howto about how buggy the pcmcia
controller for the Toshiba is, it seems like it can be an interesting
exercise.
