Well, as you can gather from the subject, I am having trouble setting up a
pcmcia ethernet card. This is my first experience of FreeBSD on a laptop so
I'm not quite sure where to look.

I have first tried with a USB ethernet adapter but this did not work (ugen
reported 'AboCom adapter' plugged, but none of the USB nic drivers recognized
it). This was a Trendnet TU-ET10.

Then I got a pcmcia nic (a Trendnet) but it does not work. pccardd reports a
"Dual Speed" "10/100 Port Attached PC Card" match (obviously quite a generic
id, huh) and fails with "device not configured". The card is supposed to work
'as is' (with the default pcmcia daemon) on Linux, at least that's stated in
the doc.

I guess I must modify the default entry for this name to match the actual card,
but how can I find the right driver? Is there some config info I can get from
another OS (there is Win2k on that machine, much to my horror, but the person
owning this laptop needed networking)? 

Thank you,
Chive
