I tried a Xircom CreditCard Ethernet adapter, CE38-100BTX, which uses
the xirc2ps_cs driver. It runs, if slowly, on an installed system. But

pcmcia-socket-startup: chdir to /etc/pcmcia failed: no
I wonder if this is related to a bug I hit -- and I may have solved.
See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=980271#15 for the
details and a workaround.
