Hi, I had troubles too finding out how to get PCMCIA cards to work with FreeBSD, until I found documentation on The FreeBSD Diary. http://www.freebsddiary.org/laptop.php Basically you need to enable pccardd from /etc/rc.conf and hope that your card is listed in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf For my Psion Dacom networkcard I needed to modify an existing driver in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf and placed it in /etc/pccard.conf Whenever I reinstall FreeBSD on my laptop I need 2 minutes to get PCMCIA to work.
