Hmmm.....you seem pretty good with the pccard stuff so here is my problem:).
I have this PCMCIA CD-Rom that a friend gave me for my laptop. I know it
works because he was useing it on his wondows laptop, anyway, here is a copy
of the dumpcis from it, any idea if this thing will work with freebsd, and
of a pccard.conf entry for it?
dumpcis follows
May 30 13:33:34 mobile /kernel: Card inserted, slot 1

> insert /etc/pccard_ether ed0
> remove echo D-Link 660 Ethernet removed
> remove /sbin/ifconfig ed0 delete
