I am running 4-CURRENT and bug with pcic loading twice is fixed already. The
problem is pccardd tells me it cannot allocate driver for this card. I know
that zp0 and pcic don't work together. For some reason pcic can't work with
my card, but zp0 works fine. But I need to use pcic because I have a PCMCIA
modem which I think is only supported by pcic. And by the way, ep0 is not
what I need, it's driver for some other card.
Oleg.

You cannot use zp0 w/ pccardd. You need to ep0 and have it built
into the kernel. You also need to make sure that nothing else is
running on irq 10 (or whatever you set it to in the kernel). Also
probaby need to remove the ifconfig_zp0 entry and replace it with
a pccard_ifconfig entry and make sure that /etc/pccard.conf exists
and has an entry for your card. As a second point, are you running
2.2x or 3.1 or 4.x ? If you are running either 3 or 4 and have the
pcic support built into the kernel, you will want to change /etc/rc.pccard
to prevent the pcic support from being loaded twice:
#!/bin/sh -
#
# PC-card startup script
# HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi <hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp>
#
# $Id: rc.pccard,v 1.6.2.2 1999/03/17 17:41:35 nate Exp $
#
if [ "X$pccard_enable" = X"YES" ] ; then
builtin=`kldstat -v -i 1 | grep pcic | awk '{print $2}'`
if [ "$builtin" = "pcic" ] ; then
echo "PCIC module compiled in"
else
if kldload pcic; then
echo "Kernel pcic module loaded."
fi
fi
if [ "x$pccard_mem" != "xDEFAULT" ] ; then
pccardc pccardmem $pccard_mem
else
pccardc pccardmem 0xd0000
fi
echo -n "Enable PC-card."
pccardd 2>&1 > /var/log/pccardd.debug &
fi
Also, make sure that /etc/pccardd.conf has sensible entries for avaialble
irq's.
Good luck
