Hello everybody!
 I posted this a couple of weeks ago already, but I'm still unable to solve
the problem. My ethernet card still isn't being recognized (see subject for
error message).

 I understand that there is a memory confilct. My problem is, that I don't
know what could cause the conflict. As suggested by Warner, I've looked
through the dmesg output for devices on the same bus, here is the result:

isa0: <ISA bus> on isab0
orm0: <Option ROM> at iomem 0xc0000-0xcbfff on isa0
fdc0: <NEC 72065B or clone> at port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0
atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0
vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0
sc0: <System console> at flags 0x100 on isa0
pcic0: <Cirrus logic 6722> at port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd0000 on isa0
sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0
ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not sure if I understand things right
here. Wouldn't this output tell me that 0xa0000-0xbfff and 0xc0000-0xcbfff are
used ranges, the PCMCIA controller is on 0xd0000 and therefore everything
from 0xd4000 upwards is free?

I've tried to set the 'memory'-line in pccard.conf to 0xd4000, 0xd8000 and
0xdc000., without success. Does the 'pccard_mem'-line in rc.conf have to match
this? Is it possible that I'm missing something trivial here or could it be
something else?

I would greatly appreciate your help.

     Thank you,
         Ali
