Hiya.
I don't have a solution to your '"(null)"("(null)")' problem, but you
should note that /etc/defaults/rc.conf includes:
pccard_conf="/etc/defaults/pccard.conf"
and that file contains the line:
include /etc/pccard.conf
near the top, making it unnecessary to copy entries from one file to the
other unless you need to modify those entries. If the default entry
works without modification, simply including 'pccard_enable="YES"' in
your /etc/rc.conf should be sufficient to get most cards working.
I will say that I've seen similar behaviour when inserting certain other
cards ... notably a D-Link DFE-650 (which should be supported, according
to pccard.conf), but I haven't had the time to follow up on it; I have a
3C589D which works perfectly.
You might want to borrow some other PCMCIA cards and see if they give
the same results. But I'll let more clueful experts diagnose the real
problem. ;-)
