Question about two PCMCIA Network cards and "No free configuration for card" message

There seems to be a number of threads in various places on this
subject.  I am very new to FreeBSD and I am trying to set up my laptop
as a gateway.  I have two different Linksys cards, but both use the ed
driver.  I gather from the recent threads that I need to modify the
pccard.conf file to ensure that both cards can be loaded, but it is not
clear what.

Is there any documentation on this, or can anyone out there help.


Here is more information.

Both cards are PCMCIA cards.  I have the Linksys 10/100 card in slot 0
and the Linksys 10Mbps card in slot 1.  The laptop has one serial port,
one parallel port, and a built in modem.

Here is what I am seeing.  The boot has proceeded and the "login:"
prompt is up when the following two lines show in highlighted text.

ed1 at port 0x300-0x31f irq 9 flags 0x80000 slot 0 on pccard 0
ed1: address 00:04:5a:93:db:30, type NE2000 (16 bit)

Then the following shows up in regular text.

Aug 31 09:36:40 laptop pccardd[47]: ed1: Linksys (/Ether[Ff]ast 10/100
PC Card \(PCMPC100.*\)/) insrted.
Aug 31 09:36:50 laptop pccardd[47]: Card "Network Everywhere"("Ethernet
10BaseT PC Card") [2.0] [ ] matched "Network Everywhere" ('Ethernet
10BaseT PC Card") [(null)] [(null)]
Aug 31 09:36:50 laptop pccardd[47]: No free configuration for card
Network Everywhere
Aug 31 09:36:50 laptop pccardd[47]: pccardd started

By the way, "laptop" is the node name.  I can get the boot message from
dmesg if that would help.
