But, that doesn't answer your question... Here are two things I could think of: I didn't understand what you meant by the PC Card insertion/removal messages being an artifact. Is pccard_enable="YES" set in rc.conf? (I know the questions sounds dumb, but I've forgotten it before, myself, so I ask anyway.) There is an entry in my pccard.conf for the PCM100, so it leads me to believe that something is not enabled with your PC Card slots in rc.conf. Also, you do not have "device ed0" in your kernel and I thought that the Linksys cards require that device. You should check to make sure it is in your kernel. Another thing to watch out for with your PC Cards is that you only enable the right number of IRQ's that are available. You should customize your pccard.conf and place the customized file in /etc. Check through dmesg to see which IRQ's are already taken by other devices and eliminate those from the conf file.
