PCMCIA NIC installation

[630111]

I've almost completed my first FreeBSD installation! At the moment, I'm trying to get my 3Com Megahertz 574B PCMCIA
network adapter working on this Toshiba Tecra 8000. As suggested in the laptop articles, I verified that the
card is indeed listed in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf. In /etc/rc.conf I've added the line pccard_enable="YES"
and rebooted. At the very end of the boot, I get the following message:

Additional ABI Support: linuxMar 25 11:12:13 pccardd[47]: Card "3Com"("Megahertz 574B&quot [001] matched
"3Com" ("Megahertz 574B&quot [(null)] [(null)]
.
Local package initialization:.
Additional TCP options:.

FreeBSD/i386 (Amnesiac) (ttyv0)

login: ep0: Unit failed to come ready or product ID unknown! (id 0xffff)
Mar 25 11:12:18 pccardd[47]: driver allocation failed for 3Com(Megahertz 574B):
Device not configured
Mar 25 11:12:18 pccardd[47]: pccardd started

What does it all mean and how do I fix it? I'm a newbie at FreeBSD, so your patience is greatly appreciated!

Thanks, in advance!
