I am not sure what you mean here. Again, I am new to FreeBSD.  Do you mean 
the device line for my 3C589D card, or something else?  If so, the 
pccard.conf file seems to indicate that the device for the 3C589D is ep0, 
but the man pages seems to indicate I should be using zp0.  If I use ep0, 
the system doesn't find it during boot.  Do I need a different syntax in the 
kernel config file?  [ It looks like it is looking on the ISA bus. ] In 
BSD/OS, the syntax was something like:

ef0 at pcmcia0

Is there a similar syntax for FreeBSD?

If I use zp0 in the kernel config file, the make fails.  [ I don't remember 
the error, something about not being able to define something that is 
already defined. ]

Again, I am not an idiot, but I haven't used FreeBSD before so I am not sure 
what I am doing.  I have the FreeBSD book by Greg Lehey and although I 
haven't read it front to back yet, I haven't found many pointers to PCMCIA 
configuration.

Maybe I should ask a different question.  What devices should I see probed 
during boot to get my 3C589D working?

I have a pcic0 device, but I don't see anything else.

pcic0: <Cirrus Logic PD6729/6730 PC-Card Controller> rev 0xee int a irq 255 
on pci0.19.0
