Hi Doug,
I have a similar setup with two 3com 3c589's in a Thinkpad 701. My system is
still running FreeBSD 3.4 because it works and I haven't been brave enough to
try it with 4.x yet.
The first problem you describe doesn't come up in my case because I have one
3c589C and one 3c589D, which have different pccard.conf entries.
I have inelegant hacks to get around the second problem you describe through
brute force.
pccard.conf:
-------
# 3Com Etherlink III 3C589B, 3C589C
card "3Com Corporation" "3C589"
config 0x1 "ep0" ?
insert echo 3Com Etherlink III inserted
insert /etc/pccard_ether ep0 -link0 link1
insert /etc/start_if.ep0
remove echo 3Com Etherlink III removed
remove /sbin/ifconfig ep0 delete
# 3Com Etherlink III 3C589D
card "3Com Corporation" "3C589D"
config 0x1 "ep1" ?
insert echo 3Com Etherlink III inserted
insert /etc/pccard_ether ep1
insert /sbin/ifconfig ep1 inet 192.168.1.1
insert /usr/local/sbin/dhcps ep1
remove echo 3Com Etherlink III removed
remove /sbin/ifconfig ep1 delete
------
start_if.ep0 has lines to start a dhcp client and natd on ep0.
rc.conf says,
pccard_enable="YES"
pccard_ifconfig="NO"
hope this helps,
eric
