In December -CURRENT's ed(4) driver was extended. The
functionality was MFCed to -STABLE in January.

Linksys Fast Ethernet PCCARD cards supported by the ed driver now
require the addition of flag 0x80000 to their config line in
pccard.conf(5). This flag is not optional. These Linksys cards will
not be recognized without it.

This still didn't make the card work for me, but see
http://www.freebsddiary.org/last-netgear.html for a method to
force link speed and duplex mode. If this tool works for you,
you might want to see my "misc/25147: [PATCH] to make D-Link
DFE-650 work with -STABLE" PR at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=25147 for how to make
things happen automatically.
-CURRENT is said to have gotten similar code or even better
(cleaner) tweaks for the card lately. Look out for Warner Losh's
commits of the last weeks. fa_select should be considered a
hack. But admittedly I never ran the new code (don't have
-CURRENT around).
