Actually, I've found that PCCard ed0's have a flaw.  Try turning off
full-duplex operation on the fxp0.

The flaw is that the ed0's have no bits to twiddle on FreeBSD so you
can't set them full/half duplex.  Autonegotiation seems to work ---
the lights on my dongle indicate full duplex operation, but the
collisions/errors I get indicate that something's not happy.

I find the card works fine when my switch is hardwired to half duplex
(works with a DLINK switch and with an extreme black diamond)

Dave.
