interesting.  I don't have this problem on my wireless gateway.  At
least not the insert first problem.  I do have the it must be in the
top slot problem :-).

From my dmesg:

ed0 at port 0x300-0x31f irq 10 slot 0 on pccard0
ed0: address 00:c0:f0:3d:6f:49, type NE2000 (16 bit) 
wi0: <WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11> at port 0x240-0x27f irq 11 slot 1 on pccard1
wi0: Ethernet address: 00:02:2d:01:99:b3

Of course, both of them were inserted at boot.

Is the restirction some software thing, or just the physics of
insertion?
