Subject:   PCMCIA net card, kernel config file format

I've installed FreeBSD 4 to my laptop.  I have a PCMCIA LinkSys EC2T network 
card.  I dug around and learned that I should be able to use the NE2000 
driver, which is 'ed'.

This should be doable, but I think the problem is that I'm not specifying 
things correctly in my kernel config file.  What is the correct way (format, 
arguments) to specify a PCMCIA net card in the config file?

It seems to accept the PCMCIA controller.  The boot messages contain:

   pcic-pci0: <Cirrus Logic PD 6729/6730 PC-Card Controller> at device 19.0 
on pci0

But it doesn't seem to see the network card.  ifconfig is unaware of it.

If someone has a similar situation working (PCMCIA network card), I'd love 
to see the appropriate sections of your kernel config file.  Obviously, the 
addresses, etc. may be different, but it would let me know the correct 
format to get the PCMCIA controller online, and then have the network driver 
properly connected to it.

Thanks :-)
