Xircom XEM5600 and RedHat 9?

[Don Montalvo <donmontalvo mac com>]

I've been racking my head all week trying to get this new Xircom 
XEM5600 Ethernet/Modem card to work on my Dell Latitude CSx. RedHat 
runs like a dream...text-only mode since it's functioning as an 
Apache 2.0.x server (and I hate having a GUI in Linux).

Has anyone been able to get it to work? Here is some relevant info:

the /etc/pcmcia/config file has this entry:

	card "Xircom XEM5600 Ethernet/Modem"
		version "Xircom", "*", "XEM5600"
		bind "xirc2ps_cs", "serial_cs"

/etc/modeles.conf:

	alias eth0 tulip
	alias usb-controller usb-uhci

/var/log/boot.log displays this error:

	network: Bringing up interface eth0: failed

/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart:

	Bringing up interface eth0: serial_cs device eth0 does not 
seem to be present, delaying initialization

ifconfig eth0 displays this:

	eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

cardctl status displays this:

	Socket 0:
		no card
	Socket 1:
		no card

running lsmod does not display "serial_cs" or "xirc2ps"

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Don
