Virgin import of Xircom PCCARD driver v1.17

Description

Virgin import of Xircom PCCARD driver v1.17

v1.17 (1999/03/28) has xperimental fixes to 10Mbit autonegotiation and
CE2 input lockup.

KNOWN BUGS

  • Media auto-negotiation is definitely not right. It will work in most circumstances and seems to connect OK to most 100Mbit networks, however some pathological combinations of hubs/networks/peers seem to confuse it.
  • CE2 support is somewhat flakey (ranging from 'works perfectly' to 'hangs the machine' so far). I've fixed the probe routine and a potential lockup in the output routine, but a lot of people still report that they can't receive or transmit.
  • You won't be able to use the modem and Ethenet parts of a multifunction card simultaneously. This is limitation the current FreeBSD PCMCIA support. Likewise, there is no support for CardBus devices.
