I tried using "devd" (starting it from the commandline) - same errors
as outlined above. Also tried with a kernel that's based on "OLDCARD" -
again same errors. BTW, the manpage for devd.conf(5) doesn't give any explict
examples/hints - at least in my version...

Just to make sure it's not a HW-problem: I've tried using the same PCcards
under both Linux and FreeBSD 4.8 - no problems at all.

In case it's a problem with the devd.conf - do you have any pointers on 
how to set up a proper config file for devd using the follwing cards
Cisco Aironet 250 (WLAN)

Xircom 10/100 (Ethernet)

TIA for your help
