There is a Linux driver for the card, and the author claims to have gotten
specs from Xircom.  I called Xircom yesterday and left a message, and am
currently using the Linux driver to understand how the card works.

Of course, the Linux driver is filled with the usual Linux lossage (magic
constants, inconsistencies, no use of real structures to access data from
the CIS, etc...)
