I am trying to install FreeBSD 5.4RC3 on my IBM ThinkPad iSeries, 
Type 2611 laptop.

Unfortunately my Kingston EtheRx IC PC Card is not detected.
When I boot a CD distribution like Knoppix, the card is detected as 
Kingston KNE-PC2
In the compatibility list the KNE-PC2 card is listed with the ed driver, 
but specifying  ifconfig_ed="inet 192.168..... in rc.conf  does not help.

The following is fram my dmesg:
-----------------------------------------------
