I have recently bitten the bullet and installed FreeBSD on my laptop (a
Toshiba Satellite 2515CDS), however, can not get it to attach to my LAN.

The LAN cards I am trying to use are a PC-Card (CardBus) LinkSys PC200 and
a D-Link DSB-650TX USB connector.

If I have the USB connector plugged in on boot up, I get:

aue0: MII read timed out

repeatedly, and have to remove & power-cycle to get the machine back up.

The PCCARD lan adaptor doesn't even probe or activate.

Any ideas on other LAN hardware that might actually work?  I'd really like
to get a homogenous FreeBSD environment here :)

(FWIW, the rest of my machines are running 4.2-STABLE; the laptop is
running a 4.2-RELEASE from the ISO image at ftp.freebsd.org)
