xircom cbem56g-100 support

[<beldridg@best.com>]

hi,

i'm very confused. today i decided to test the in-kernel pcmcia support.

after a few hours of fiddling, i got my wavelan card to work, no problem
there.

then i tried to get my xircom cbem56g-100 to work.

the pcmcia-cs documentation says:

  "Xircom CardBus cards are supported by a separate driver ('Xircom
   Tulip-like CardBus', xircom_tulip_cb, CONFIG_PCMCIA_XIRTULIP).  Hot
   plug PCI drivers are not managed by cardmgr; they are managed by the
   "hotplug" subsystem."

and i've even seen david hinds post that "cardmgr recognized that this is
a hot plug PCI driver, so it is the responsibility of the Linux hotplug
subsystem to load the driver."

so, i download and install the latest hotplug stuff. and, here is what i
find in the /etc/hotplug/blacklist:

   # tulip ... de4x5, xircom_tulip_cb, dmfe (...) handle same devices
   de4x5
   xircom_tulip_cb
   dmfe

so, can somebody please help me before i just give up (again) and go back
to the pcmcia-cs stuff?

one last question: how do the two interoperate? because now i have some
cardbus cards and some not.
