	I have the Xircom Ethernet II 10/100 CBE2-100 (IIRC); someone
	on the -mobile list said that only 5.X recognizes this card.

	Both a floppy install of 5.2.1 and a CDROM 5.2.1 recognize 
	the Cardbus; but both poison almost immediately.  --So, for now,
	I'm sticking with 4.8 and looking for a PCMCIA card that 
	works with 4.8.
