PCMCIA Xircom RBEM100TX: eth0 works (kind of) under 2.3.47

From: Alessandro Suardi (asuardi@uninetcom.it)

Using PCMCIA 3.1.11. Card isn't set up at boot and cardctl oopses
 on ident command; what makes ethernet work is the following sequence:

 1) physically remove card
 2) physically insert it back (now cardctl doesn't oops anymore)
 3) modprobe tulip_cb
 4) ifconfig eth0 <params>

cardctl eject/insert doesn't yield same effect as physical action.

Serial_cb compiled in kernel but doesn't appear to work (I get no
 response from /dev/ttyS1 -- which works fine under 2.3.35 -- with
 either chat or minicom).

Any interest in oops etc. just ask, I'll send it. 100% reproducable.

Detailed output from /var/log/messages:

Thanks for the good work so far !
