Kernel pcmcia code works fine with 2.4.0-test8 and my Xircom RBEM56G100TX,
 in fact I am writing from my laptop connected through it. See lsmod output
 and relevant part of .config.

CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA=y
CONFIG_PCMCIA_XIRTULIP=m
CONFIG_PCMCIA_SERIAL=m
CONFIG_PCMCIA_SERIAL_CB=m

The only hack I've done is to work around the known cardmgr issue with
 the 2.4 API not providing proper device names.

I haven't tried 2.2.18pre7 but pre3 broke tulip_cb for the Xircom and
 pre5 hadn't fixed it yet.

Ciao,
