FreeBSD 5.3, on R31 Thinkpad.

I picked up a 2nd-hand Xircom modem/ethernet card, and although the 
ethernet works fine (although I don't need it), the modem port doesn't 
seem to be recognised.

Here are the syslog messages (debuggingl level set to 3))

Dec 26 14:03:53 stinky kernel: xe0: disable_intr
Dec 26 14:03:53 stinky kernel: xe0: detached

And on looking through the kernel source (/sus/dev/xe/*), it's not clear 
that the modem port is even recognised at all...  It's seen as having
one, but there doesn't seem to be any code to configure it.
