ifconfig ed0:
ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255

Yes, PCMCIA
I'm not sure how to get the information you requestred about pccard.
Maybe pccardc dumpcis?
The man pccard item that descibes dumpcis is so heavily techno, I couldn't
make any sense of it. Other than that it
shows SOMETHING about pccard [slot]
`pccard dumpcis' gives 155 lines of output. I have no idea which are
pertinent.
I've posted the full output here:

How does one tell if it is a bogus MAC address? What do you mean by
`certain' above? There were some tcp connections you could not make?
In my case I haven't noticed any I could not make. (outbound)
