Thank you very much. Like you said After twicking with the pccard.conf file, i got pccardd
enable the cards:

irq 3 13

config 0x2 "ed0" 3
config 0x3 "ed1" 13

I configured each interface with a different IP Address(different subnets)
but immediately after the ifconfig command I get a message
/kernel: ed0: device timeout for  ed0
and /kernel: ed1: device timeout for ed1
Besides each interface can ping itself on the respective IP.
But I can't ping other hosts on respective subnets...

Any Idea...DriverS??
