I tried it out this morning.  It found the network card, but crapped out
the box w/the following error:

xi0 at pcmcia0 function 0 port 0x400-0x40f: Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10/100 + Mo dem 56
xi0: Ethernet address 00:10:a4:f6:56:a4
ifmedia_set: no match for 0x22/0xffffffff
panic: ifmedia_set

Any ideas?
