You need to have ed in your kernel.

However, it would appear that this is a variation of this card that
the FreeBSD kernel doesn't know about yet.  Some versions of this card
have a manufacturer id of 0x021b instead of 0xffff.  I've added a new
device ID to current for this.  I'll see what I can do about
back-porting it to 5.x, but I no longer have any 5.x laptops around
for easy testing so that may take a while.

To add support yourself, you'll need to add the following line to
pccarddevs near the other billionton entries:

product BILLIONTON LNA100B	{ "Billionton", "LNA-100B", NULL, NULL } Billionton LNA-100B

And then add a line like the following to if_ed_pccard.c in the
ed_card_products section:
        { PCMCIA_CARD(BILLIONTON, LNA100B, 0), NE2000DVF_AX88190},
near the other BIOLLIONTON lines.  Rebuild, reinstall and try again.
