<PAGE>

CUSIP No. 983922 10 5      Schedule 13D              Page 4 of 17

          On February 17, 1999, pursuant to the terms of the
          Warrant, the Reporting Person "net exercised" the
          Warrant. Under the net exercise, the Issuer retained
          995,589 of the shares of Common Stock that the
          Reporting Person had the right to acquire under the
          Warrant in payment of the aggregate Warrant exercise
          price of $40,782,480 ($27.01 per share).  The
          Reporting Person acquired 514,314 shares of Common
          Stock as a result of the net exercise of the Warrant.
          See Item 5(c) below for further details regarding the
          net exercise.
                 
Item 4.   Purpose of the Transaction
                 
          The Reporting Person acquired the Common Stock and the
          Warrant  as  an  investment and in connection  with  a
          technology  agreement  between  the  Issuer  and   the
          Reporting  Person  pursuant to which  the  Issuer  and
          Reporting Person will work together to further advance
          mobile  connectivity  solutions for  high  performance
          business computing.  As more fully described in Item 3
          above  and Item 5(c) below, on February 17, 1999,  the
          Reporting Person net exercised the Warrant,  and  then
          immediately  sold the 514,314 shares thereby  acquired
          back   to  the  Issuer  to  realize  a  gain  on   its
          investment.
          
          The  Reporting  Person presently holds its  shares  of
          Common   Stock   of  the  Issuer  as  an   investment.
          Depending  upon the Reporting Person's  evaluation  of
          market    conditions,   market   price,    alternative
          investment  opportunities, liquidity needs  and  other
          factors, the Reporting Person will from time  to  time
          explore opportunities for liquidating all or a portion
          of  the shares, through one or more sales pursuant  to
          public   or  private  offerings  or  otherwise.    The
          Reporting Person may determine to retain some  portion
          of the shares as an investment.

                 On  February  17,  1999  the  Reporting  Person
                 elected    to   net   exercise   the   Warrant,
                 surrendering  995,589 shares  of  Common  Stock
                 valued at $40.96 per share (the average closing
                 price  as  quoted by Reuters for the  ten  (10)
                 trading   days   immediately   preceding    the
                 transaction)  in payment of the exercise  price
                 of the Warrant, and acquiring 514,314 shares of
                 Common  Stock.   The  Issuer  then  immediately

                 preceding  the transaction, less a discount  of
                 $0.50  per  share).  The Issuer  will  pay  the
                 purchase   price  for  these  shares   to   the
                 Reporting Person on February 23, 1999.

          Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement between  the
          Reporting Person and the Issuer, the Reporting  Person
          has,   under  certain  circumstances,  various  rights

          maintaining  its ownership percentage in  the  Issuer,
          (d) receiving various public filings directly from the
          Issuer on a periodic basis, and (e) the opportunity to
          acquire the Issuer or certain assets of the Issuer  if
          the  Issuer  seeks  other offers or  receives  certain
          unsolicited offers.  The Reporting Person has  certain
          standstill obligations relating to its acquisition  of
          shares  of  Common  Stock of the  Issuer  and  certain

          Pursuant  to  a  Letter Agreement dated  February  17,
          1999, attached as an Exhibit hereto, the definition of
          "Market  Price" as set forth in the Warrant  (used  to
          determine the number of shares surrendered in  payment
          of  the  exercise  price of the  Warrant  upon  a  net
          exercise)  was  modified to mean, as  to  a  share  of
          Common  Stock, the average closing price as quoted  by
          Reuters  for  the  ten (10) trading  days  immediately
          preceding  February  17, 1999.  The  Letter  Agreement

notice  of  our  intention to exercise that  certain  Warrant  to
Purchase  Shares of Common Stock (the "Warrant")  dated  February

Annex.  The following sets out additional terms of our agreement:

1.   The  definition of the term "Market Price" set forth in  the
Warrant shall be modified to mean, as to a share of Common Stock,
the  average closing price as quoted by Reuters for the ten  (10)
trading  days immediately preceding February 17, 1999,  which  is
the  date  of our net exercise election made pursuant to  Section
1.3 of the Warrant.

2.   Xircom, Inc. (the "Company") agrees to repurchase all shares
of  Common Stock purchased under the Warrant as a result  of  the
net  exercise at the average closing price as quoted  by  Reuters
for  the five (5) trading days immediately preceding February 17,
1999,  less a discount of $0.50 per share. The Company  will  pay
the  purchase price for these shares on February 23, 1999 by wire
transfer per our separate instructions.

Except  as  expressly modified herein, any terms of  the  Warrant
which by their terms survive its exercise shall continue in  full
force and effect.

Thursday February 18, 9:00 am Eastern Time
Company Press Release
Xircom Repurchases 514,314 Shares From Intel Warrant Exercise
Intel Maintains Original 2.5 Million Share Investment in Xircom
THOUSAND  OAKS,  Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb.  18,  1999--Xircom
Inc.  (Nasdaq: XIRC - news) Thursday announced that  Intel  Corp.
exercised  its  warrant to purchase additional shares  of  Xircom
common  stock under a February 1997 agreement that  was  part  of
Intel's initial investment in Xircom.

Under  the  terms  of  the warrant agreement,  Intel  elected  to
receive  514,314  shares  at  no  additional  cost  in  lieu   of
purchasing 1,509,903 shares at an exercise price of $27.01.

Concurrent  with  the  exercise  of  the  Intel  warrant,  Xircom
repurchased  all 514,314 shares of common stock issued  to  Intel
for  a  total  price  of  $19.8 million,  or  $38.45  per  share.
Independent  of  the warrant exercise, Intel holds  approximately
2.5 million shares of Xircom common stock acquired as part of its
original investment in February 1997.

"The  relationship has been very successful to date in  terms  of
technology  transfer,  joint  development  and  joint  sales  and
marketing,"  said  Mark Christensen, vice president  and  general
manager  of the Network Communications Group at Intel.  "We  look
forward  to  continuing  to  maximize  our  technology  and   OEM
relationship with Xircom in the future."

"Our  stated goal when we initiated the relationship  with  Intel
was  to  create  a  business relationship  which  benefited  both
parties," said Dirk Gates, chairman, president and CEO of Xircom.
"We   have  achieved  this  goal  and  continue  to  expand   our
relationship. We are pleased to see that Intel is in  a  position
to share in the financial upside that our success has created."
