PCMCIA Network Card (Xircom)

[Felix Engel <smurfspam@xxxxxx>]

Hallo *,

I have been trying to get my Cardbus NIC working, but with little
success.
It is a Xircom RBEM56G-100 combi card with an ethernet port and an
integrated modem.
My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 8000K.

The kernel recognizes the cardbus controller like this
(dmesg-output)

/===
|cbb0: <TI4451 PCI-CardBus Bridge> at device 15.0 on pci2
|cardbus0: <CardBus bus> on cbb0
|pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0
|pcib2: Hi!
|pcib2: routed slot 15 INTA to irq 6
|installed MI handler for int 6
|cbb1: <TI4451 PCI-CardBus Bridge> at device 15.1 on pci2
|cardbus1: <CardBus bus> on cbb1
|pccard1: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb1
|pcib2: Hi!
|pcib2: routed slot 15 INTA to irq 6
\===

After that the card is recognized like this:

/===

Which is directly followed by these lines:

I have tried setting various different values to hw.cbb.start_memory, as
suggested in a post on a FreeBSD mailing list. However this was not
successful.

Any help an ideas would be greatly appreciated.
