I have a compaq evo n800 laptop with dual boot: win xp (needed at work) & 
linux gentoo (fully working, for my pleasure). Now, willing to substitute 
linux with FreeBSD I'm cautiously checking if FreeBSD will work with my 
hardware as linux does  using as a test the freesbie cd distribution, 
configuring it and saving my specific configuration to a usb mass storage 
automagically mounted as /mnt/dos.1.

Now it happens that - after having read the somewhat fragmented documentations 
on wireless cards setup -  I'm unable to set up my Cisco 350 wireless pcmcia 
card (I'm sure it is supported!).

I have put in rc.conf

pccard_enable="YES"
pccard_mem="DEFAULT"
pccard_ifconfig="DHCP" 

saved the configuration files into the usb mass storage and rebooted.

Even though I can find in rc.conf the pccard stuff as I set it, Freesbie goes 
on complaining 

pccard_enable: not found

the same error pops up if I restart the /etc/rc.d/pccard

What shall I do?
