Scanning /etc/defaults/pccard.conf I can find no reference to the 3CCFE575BT. I find many similar 3Com card, though, and most use the ep device. Do you get any message when you plug in the card? Do you have pccard_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf? If so, try "pccardc dumpcis 0" if you have the card plugged into slot 0. "pccardc dumpcis 1" if it' in slot 1. If you get a dump, send it o the list. Finally, the real expertise on laptops is at freebsd-mobile. If you can't get good answer from freebsd-questions, try there. R.
