PCMCIA trouble with Xircom, "CIS is too long -- truncating"

Hi,

good and bad news. Good news is that -current installation
CD-Rom (JPSNAP of yesterday) doesn't panic during boot
anymore, which was the case previously (or when inserting
the card). Thanks a lot, this is a very good progress, I'm
very pleased !

But the fix opened another problem. The card isn't recognized
by the FreeBSD anymore:

[... kernel boot messages ...]

Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec
CIS is too long -- truncating
pccard0: Card has no functions
cbb0: PC Card activation failed

[...]

When trying to do installation, the NIC isn't found.
The PCMCIA card is a:

	Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56, REM55G-100.

Here a dump of the CIS:
