I've installed FreeBSD (4.0) on an old laptop (Toshiba 486 SX 33 with
4 MB, yeah). I edited /etc/rc.conf:

...
pccard_ifconfig="YES"
...
network_interfaces="ed0 lo0"
ifconfig_ed0="inet 10.10.10.11 netmask 255.255.255.0"

ed0 is also in the kernel.

Card is not setup during boot, because the pccardd is started and the
card found after the network configuration is done. I can manually
ifconfig the card after logging in and it works.

Now I've added an ifconfig.sh to /usr/local/etc/rc.d and that works
alright. But it does not feel good. There must be another, more
'official' way.

I would appreciate any comment and will be pleased to give more info
if needed.
