Hello all - 

I've posted this issue to FreeBSD-stable, where someone made me aware of this mailing list. I have an IBM 365XD Thinkpad that I'm setting up as a router/firewall. I have 2 identical Linksys PCMPC100 PCMCIA NICs in it, and I'm having a difficult time getting both to work.

Brief background: When inserting the cards after bootup, the first is recognized and given irq 3. The second card (regardless of which I use first or second) gives me the error: No free configurations available. The things that I've checked that might cause this are as follows: /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/KERNELFILE under network devices, I have a line 'device    ed' with no additional irq/port/iomem specifications (I need 2 ed devices). /etc/rc.conf has pccard_conf="/etc/pccard.conf", which does have configurations for my card(s). I can't figure out at this point what might keep the second card from having resources assigned; I know irq 5 is available; I'm not what memory addresses/etc are avaialable. 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!
