I don't think there will be any 4.0-PAO floppies. We are busy merging PAO
into the main FreeBSD repository. As of recently, there have been a number
of MFPAO3's and newcard commits by Iwasaki-san and Warner Losh.
If the 3CXFEM656C is a Cardbus card (as I assume based on the last alpha
character in its name), then you'll have to wait until we have Cardbus code
in the tree (which MAY be in by 4.1, but more likely 4.2).
However, if it's anything like the other 3Com cards, writing the actual
driver will be easy (what's needed at this point is the base code for
pccard + cardbus).
So, as soon as we get done with the base code, I'm sure that if someone
loans a 3CXFEM656C card, a driver will be written.
