I got bored of manually running `ifconfig eth0 promisc` for my xircom card
so this night I gone into it ;).
Following the specification it's clear why it couldn't work without the
promiscuous bit set in cr6.
This is the fix against the latest pcmcia-cs.26-Apr-00.tar.gz but it
should apply correctly also to the latest stable pcmcia-cb releases. Works
fine for me now.
