Which card was that? All of the recent Xircom PCMCIA cards are supported
by the xe driver in 3.x

I'm not aware of any, but for network drivers at least it's pretty easy
regardless. To a certain level, a driver is a driver is a driver; they all
have to do pretty much the same things in the same order, BSD and Linux
just express that a little differently. I've typically found that figuring
out how to make the d*mn badly documented hardware behave is way harder
than glueing it into your OS of choice :-)
