Yup, no way to get the 3Com 3CN3AC1556 mini-PCI card (combo xl0 and stinkin' 
winmodem) in my Omnibook 6000 working either.

So I just bought an IBM combo miniPCI on EBay for $29, fitted it (less than 
two minutes), built a new kernel with fxp support and the ltmdm port, and both 
internal ports on my laptop work just fine.

YEESSSSSS!!!! :)

I'm stoked! I love this OS.
