Hi all,

I'm using a Dell Latitude Cpx laptop with a Xircom Realport NIC (NIC+modem
56k).
It seems that FreeBSD supports this kind of network interface, but FreeBSD
hangs when booting when the Xircom card is inserted.

When booting without the Xircom card, FreeBSD boots fine, but when inserting
the card after the boot, FreeBSD hangs and I have to power off my laptop to
reset the system.

Running Win2k on this laptop works fine, but I *really* prefer FreeBSD as my
desktop OS.

Pls advise.

Cheers -- Robin

System properties:
FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE, 4.2 STABLE (same results)

Xircom Cardbus Ethernet 100 + Modem 56 (Ethernet Interface)
Adapter Type Ethernet 802.3
MAC Address 00:10:A4:B3:1C:85
IRQ Number 9
I/O Port 0xFE80-0xFEFF
