	Good news.  I tracked down a guy in Germany who is writing Xircom
drivers.  Please don't go swamping him with email, so far its still alpha.
In fact, my card isn't supported yet (estimates a couple of days).  Here
is the url to lookup.  You can download the source code and instructions
there:

http://www.d.shuttle.de/isil/soft-xircom.html

	Once again, I know demand for this driver is high, but this is
still an ALPHA driver.  It is still a VERY small project.  Trust me, Don't
scare this guy off!!!!
	You should only visit this site if you intend to go through alot
of rigourous boring ALPHA testing.  You should NOT expect your card to
work.  You should NOT abuse or annoy him, even if you think he deserves
it.

	ALPHA software means it's NOT FINISHED YET.

	That said, for some cards it already works pretty well.  Don't
blame me or him if your kernel crashes though.

You have been enlightened     | "I use vi under Win!!!"
