If you still have winblows installed, boot it and record your i/o and irq
settings first.

I have an Inspiron 3500 with a 3C589E running 3.2-R, so this may\|may
not help. On my system, all (apart from the NDA-restricted Neomagic sound
card) works fine.

Kernel file:
-----------

# PCCARD (PCMCIA) support
controller      card0
device          pcic0   at card?
device          pcic1   at card?

also make sure you have an ep device in your kernel:

device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 9


/etc/pccard.conf:
----------------

# 3Com Megahertz 3CCE589E* 10 Mbps LAN PC Card
card "3Com" "Megahertz 589E" [1]
        config 0x1 "ep0" 9   [2]
        insert echo 3Com Megahertz Ethernet card inserted
        insert /etc/pccard_ether ep0
        insert /sbin/ifconfig $device my_ip
        remove echo 3Com Megahertz Ethernet card removed
        remove /sbin/ifconfig ep0 delete

[1] You'll have to change the card identifier here to your appropriate
    configuration.
[2] You may need to change the IRQ specified here to your correct IRQ.

Searching, searching, searching... :-)
Postings here in freebsd-mobile, searches on deja.com, etc etc.
