I'll bet your ethernet card is a 3Com or an IBM, right?  You're using
the dedicated cards.

The alternative support means that you can't mix the 'dedicated' support
and alternative support.  So, you can't use the zp/ze drivers and the
alternative of 'generic' PCCARD support.

Then remove either the zp driver and replace it with the ep driver, or
remove the ze driver and replace it with the ed driver.

Because you haven't created the devices in /dev.

# cd /dev
# MAKEDEV card0
# MAKEDEV card1

You *want* generic support, so remove the ze/zp drivers.
