Try editing your /etc/pccard.conf, and inserting the following:
card "PCMCIA" "FastEtherCard"
config 0x7 "ed0" ?
insert echo PCMCIA FastEtherCard inserted
insert /etc/pccard_ether ed0
remove echo PCMCIA FastEtherCard removed
remove /sbin/ifconfig ed0 delete
If that doesn't work, try changing the "?" to every available irq (10 is a
good candidate). I find it strange that every configuration index is 0x7 but
perhaps it is normal.
I hope this helps.
