Of course. All of them, afaik. I should also have mentioned that
pcmcia modems, serial cards and the calluna cards work as expected.

I have found that modinfo (?) says that then pcelx kernel module was loaded,
but ifconfig still complains. Maybe I'll try with a /etc/host.pcelx (or what
was the name? the corresponding one to host*.le0).
