Jerry,
I was checking out work laptops (Dell Latitude CPxH 500,
CPxJ 650) out with Redhat 7 and the xircom 32-bit dual card (RBEMxxxxx) I
think. Everything worked out of the box. I was looking for the
drivers for the laptop, working on my home system, then decided to try and ping
something and found that it was working. Even was able to hot-remove and
reinsert the card without problems.
I
can't definitively say, but I think the RH 7.0 install didn't have the
xirc2ps_cs module on the system when I did a 'find' for it. The only
reason I remember is because it was odd-enough for me to make note of. It
might be worth doing the upgrade (and subsequent security
patches.)

Hi,
I can't seem to get the NIC working....the modem
works fine. Can anyone help....thanks!
I'm not sure if this is the problem but it may be
a factor....when the system boots, it inserts the "serial_cs" module but does
not insert a module for the NIC. I believe the correct module is "xirc2ps_cs".
This module does exist on my hard drive.
Details:
Xircom Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56: Model
REM56G-100
OS: Redhat 6.2
Kernel: 2.2.16-3
Regards,
Jerry
