From booting Messages it says:

ifconfig: interface ep0 does not exist
prefix: interface ep0 does not exist

while 'ep0: 3Com Etherlink III 3C589 at port 0x240-0x24f irq3 slot 1 on pccard1'
always comes after :(

How to solve this problem?

I'm trying to setup my old laptop with FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE installed into a
ipv4-ipv6 router. The problem is the pccard(identified as 3Com 3C509/3C589)
interface can't get a global unicast address, ifconfig message as followed:

ep0: flags=a843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,LINK1,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.24.51 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.24.255
        inet6 fe80::210:4bff:fe7b:7ce3%ep0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x9
        ether 00:10:4b:7b:7c:e3
        media: 10baseT/UTP
        supported media: 10base2/BNC 10baseT/UTP 10base5/AUI

and /etc/rc.conf also listed below:
---- /etc/rc.conf start ----
sendmail_enable="YES"
sshd_enable="YES"
portmap_enable="YES"
inetd_enable="YES"
gateway_enable="YES"

### IPv6 options: ###

ipv6_prefix_ep0="2001:0007:0012:0002"
ipv6_gateway_enable="YES"       # Set to YES if this host will be a gateway.
ipv6_router_enable="NO"         # Set to YES to enable an IPv6 routing daemon.
ipv6_router="/usr/sbin/route6d" # Name of IPv6 routing daemon.
ipv6_router_flags=""            # Flags to IPv6 routing daemon.
rtadvd_enable="YES"
rtadvd_interfaces="ep0"
---- /etc/rc.conf end ----

Can anybody be kind enough to help me with it? Thanks in advance.
