Alvin,

Some of the settings included in the GENERIC kernel are not optimal for a 
laptop.  I would try building a custom kernel with:

options     PNPBIOS

device      pcic0  at isa?

device      ed

This will get both devices off of IRQ 10, which may already be used by the 
PCI bus.

Also, verify that the io and irq values in pccard.conf are reasonable for 
your machine.  On my laptop only irq 9 and 11 are available;  io 0x110-0x160 
0x180-0x1e0 0x230-0x2e0 0x300-0x320 0x340-0x360 was my final answer.  [The 
3C589D likes 0x110-0x11f.]  You need to verify what's right for your 
machine.  Windows Device Manager will give you a very useful report of all 
resources used;  if you don't have dual-boot you can fish the info out of 
dmesg.  Always power down your machine when going from Windows back to 
FreeBSD, to keep the pccard slots happy.

If that doesn't work I would report back the output of dmesg.  Also, if you 
set up the Sony as dual-boot I would report back the output of the Device 
Manager's Print output.

Hope this helps,

Greg Smith
