I suspect that you probably have the V2 variant of the PCMPC100 (or,
perhaps, the PCM100).
If so, then the card should be recognized if you create
/etc/pccard.conf with the contents being a slightly altered (see
below) version of the PCMPC100 or PCM100 entry from
/etc/defaults/pccard.conf.
#Linksys EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V2)
card "Linksys" "EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V2)"
# config 0x3 "ed0" ?
config auto "ed0" ?
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device
remove /sbin/ifconfig $device delete
With dynamically loaded pccard interfaces, you don't do
dhcp_enable="YES"
Instead, put the following in /etc/rc.conf
pccard_ifconfig="DHCP"
Of course, that assumes that you want to use DHCP to get your
network configuration.
Since you were imprecise as to the exact version of FreeBSD that you
are running, I will mention that you need 4.1-RELEASE or later (the
ed driver under 4.0 doesn't properly recognize the V2 variant as
being "type Linksys"). If everything goes OK, you should see
something similar to the following at boot (and/or in
/var/log/messages).
pccardd[49]: Card "Linksys"("EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V2)") [V2.0] [ ] matched "Linksys" ("EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V2)") [(null)] [(null)]
