I posted about my troubles getting freebsd installed because of a
non-working pcmcia card (Netgear 410).  So went ahead with an install
form a dos partition.  I now have 4.0 (minimal) installed but still
can't get the network card to operate.

Here is a clue from system daemon.  When I boot up and get to a login
prompt if I wait a few seconds these messages appear:

Jun 22 19:04:42 satellite pccardd[46]: driver allocation fialed for \
Toshiba America (3CXM056-BNW) Device not configured.

(3CXM056-BNW) Is the model number of my Noteworthy 56K modem

Waiting a few more seconds and these appear:
ed1 at port 0x240-0x25f irq 11 slot 1 on pccard1
ed1: supplying EUI64: 00:e0:98:ff:fe:72:dd:e3

Jun 22 19:04:53 satellite pccardd[46]: pccardd started
ed1: DAD complete for fe80:000b::02e0:98ff:fe72:dde3 - no duplicates found
Jun 22 19:04:55 satellite /kernel: ed1: device timeout
Jun 22 19:04:58 satellite /kernel: ed1: device timeout

I hope there aren't too many typos in there.   I went sort of brain
dead while copying it by hand.  Its hell with no network..

I am mostly concerned about the ethernet (pcmcia) right now and will work
on the ppp later.  This laptop doesn't really need to get online, but
dearly needs to be able to connect to the desk unit.
