You can either use the zp0 driver for the 3c589 which will happen when you install and keep running with it. Or you can install with the zp0 and then cut over to pccard and friends and use the ep0 driver. In my experience, the zp0 driver is not stable under normal usage and will wedge. You need to ifconfig it up/down. The ep0 driver works. And a thought ... it would be nice if sysinstall made cutting over to the pccard scheme transparent. It would mimimally have to install a /etc/pccard.conf file and switch you to a PCCARD kernel.
