My employer got me a laptop last fall, and it came with a Xircom
Realport 10/100 card (CE3).
It works with the "xe" driver, but not the one in the tree--there's an
updated version I got from <g.mcgarry@qut.edu.au>.

However, even with my hub showing 100Mbps link speed, it's not a fast
card--I was seeing less than 10Mbps throughput.  Now either my hub was
lying, or the throughput just really sucks.

(BTW, what's the max throughput through a PCIC or cardbus controller to
a PCMCIA slot/device?  I have this nagging suspicion that 100Mbps is
greater than the bus bandwidth?)
