Hi-
This is most definitely an irq conflict.
1) for starters, you are disalbeing ed0 in /boot/kernel.conf which
is the driver that this card will use
2) irq 7 has the parallel port on it (FreeBSD doesn't do shared
interrupts on ISA -> pccards for now)
3) irq 3 is used by the putrid winmodem. if you can disable it in
the bios, then you can use irq 3.
4) you could put your pcic in polling mode and use irq 10 for the
nic, by changing the "device pcicN at blah" lines in your kernel
to just "device pcic0 at isa?"
5) irq 9 might be free (I'll have to look again ... I didn't see,
but you ought to double check your device manager)
6) Mark Ovens posted a wonderful little script to look at your irqs

dmesg | \
grep -i 'irq [0-9][0-9]*' | \
sed 's/\(^[a-z0-9]*[: ]\).*\(irq [0-9][0-9]*\).*/\1 \2/' | \
sort -n +2 -3
---------------------- %< -------------------------------------
7) with notebooks, I strongly recommend whittling the generic
kernel down to just the hardware present ...
