Xircom Card not working on FreeBSD 5.0

Hi guys,

I'm new to FreeBSD, and I'm trying to get my network working on an old
compaq armada 1700, with a pcmcia xircom RBE100 card (network only -
thats the chip/version name on the back of the card) - as that's my
server ( it's silent, and less powerdemanding - for home use).

I had to remove acpi support (set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1) for it to boot
:)

I can see that both miibus (the driver suppose to work for my
card) and pccard modules are present (doing lsmod at boot-menu).

The error I get when inserting (and at boot time) is this (typed
manually):

Product version: 5.0
Product name: Xircom | CardBus Ethernet II 10/100 | CBEII-10/100 | 1.03
| Manufacturer ID: 0501030181
Functions: Network Adapter, Multi-Functioned
Function Extension: .. (7 lines of this with diff. nr. - tell me if you
need it)
cardbus0: Invalid BAR number: 27(06)
CIS reading done
dc0: <Xircom X3201 10/100BaseTX> port 0x1080-0x10ff mem
0x88000000-0x88000ff,0x880000100-0x8800017f irq 11 at device 0.0 on
cardbus0
dc0: Ethernet Address: 06:00:10:a4:a2:67
dc0: MII without any PHY!
device_probe_and_attach: dc0 attach returned 6
cbb0: CardBus card activation failed

I have searched on google - but can't find anything that seems to help
me, as miibus is in the kernel (should I try to build it as not a module
- if that's possible?)

I'm using GENERIC kernel. No problem compiling a new kernel if need be.

Thank you in advance.
