Hi, I'm just struggling with the same problem. The card's diagnostic disc under DOS shows no problem (0x300,11) and the card works fine with packet driver under DOS. With freebsd I get it correctly recognised and ifconfig reports it as ed1. I don't know why 1 and not 0. But anyway I tried to replace ed0 with ed1 in pccard.conf and used the same io and irq as was reported by the DOS diagn. program (changed the defaults 0x240,3 to 0x300,11 by changing the configuration index according to the values from cisdump). The notebook has a Cirrus Logic PD672X pcmcia controller. I'm afraid the problem is that FreeBSD somehow can not correctly handle this controller. I had same strange effects with a 3Com Modem Card (discussed here before). Kernel reports the sio but tip locks up the machine when accessing the port. The notebook is an ancient machine without IR, USB and CDROM only sound. So the irq 3,10,11,15 are free. Cirrus Logic contr. gets the 10 and I tried the 3,11 and 15 for the pcmcia cards all with the same problem, that the device is seen and reported but times out if I try to assign the ed1 an IP address. I also tried to replace the device card with device pccard from the NEWCARD configuration example but if I do this and insert the Netgear than the kernel panics completely. I would think the problem has nothing to do with the pcmcia card or an IRQ conflict but lies somewhere deeper in the pcmcia code accessing the Cirrus Logic controller.
