Hi Joe,

I've come into this thread a bit late and still catching up on everything
you went through to get to this point, but it looks like you have got to
the solution.

Your fix looks reasonable to me - I actually remember testing with a
borrowed XE2000 card year or so ago and honestly thought I had already
committed at least part of the fix in kern/85266, but apparently not.

Anyway, if Warner has no objections I can commit your fix, although it's
probably too late to get it into 6.2.  Warner, any problem with committing
Joe's changes described below?

The ed(4) driver claims to support the TDK CFE-10 card.  TDK's vendor ID in
pccarddevs is the same as Xircom's (0x0105) and the product ID of the
CFE-10 (0x010a) is the same as several Xircom cards, including your
XE2000.  Did you try your XE2000 against a kernel with xe(4) including your
patch, and ed(4)?  It looks like ed(4) tries to claim the card but fails to
attach it - xe(4) should get a chance to pick it up now it knows about the
card.  I'll dig through my box of old Xircom cards and see if I can find
one with the right product ID to test myself.

Thanks for going through all the pain to get this working!

Cheers,

	Scott
