I've taken this about as far as I can, I need someone else with more
knowledge about how the device drivers work to validate and actually
get the issue fixed in the source. 


MY SOLUTION:
The real answer to my problem which was how to get my Xircom XE2000 card
to work with FreeBSD 6.1 took a bit of googleing and digging through the
code.  The issue is evidentally that there are at least two incarnations
of the XE2000 card, and as luck would have it the one I had was not
recognized correctly by the xe driver.

The bottom line is that the card is recognized by the xe driver, but I
had to add entries for it to the pccarddevs file as well as to the xe
driver.

I apologize for not being able to create normal diffs.  With the setup
I'm forced to live with right now, I'm lucky to have e-mail access.  I
hope someone can decipher my freeform version, and generate a proper
one so it can be comitted.

For the first part, src/sys/dev/pccard/pccarddevs must be modified.  For
version 1.125, add the following after line 600:
product XIRCOM XE2000_2            0x010a Xircom XE2000 10/100 Ethernet

The second part is in: src/sys/dev/pccard/if_xe_pccard.c.  The current
version is 1.32, add the following after line 125:
{ PCMCIA_CARD_D(XIRCOM, XE2000),   0x53, XE_CARD_TYPE_FLAGS_MOHAWK },
{ PCMCIA_CARD_D(XIRCOM, XE2000_2), 0x53, XE_CARD_TYPE_FLAGS_MOHAWK },

This is essentially the same change as requested in kern/85266 in the
bugs database, updated slightly for the new format of pccarddevs for
6.0.

UNRESOLVED ISSUE:
I'm also a little concerned by the fact that the ed(4) driver tries to
grab the device, I had to build a kernel without ed(4) to get the xe
driver to recognize the card. 

Thanks everyone for the help I received on the freebsd-questions list.
Joe.
