Xircom realport in 8.1-RELEASE - how do I determine proper
cbb.start_memory ?

It appears that many PCMCIA network cards no longer work in FreeBSD - this is
documented here:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=115623
However there appears to be a workaround, wherein one sets their
hw.cbb.start_memory value manually. Suggested values for xircom cards are:
sysctl hw.cbb.start_memory=0xf4800000
sysctl hw.cbb.start_memory=0x30000000
However, neither of these values work for me, and I continue to get this kind of
error:
dc1: No station address in CIS!
etc.
I am happy to use this workaround, I just wonder how do I determine the proper
value for this sysctl ?
My xl0 network interface works, and I see that its settings are:
port 0xec80-0xecff mem 0xf8fffc00-0xf8fffc7f
How do I compute the proper sysctl setting for my xircom realport cards ? (I
have two of them to insert simultaneously)
Thanks.
