PCMCIA-FreeBSD

Hi there. I have an old laptop Toshiba Tecra 510 (P1, 147MB RAM, 30GB HDD) and I installed FreeBSD 7.2.
For networking I have a PCMCIA card for wired network. The problem is that I cannot start and run PCMCIA
As I know in Linux there is a tool pcmciautils for this pc-cards, but in FreeBSD I have no idea.

Does anyone knows how to deal with this PC cards?

thanks

pcmcia is enabled in the kernel by default.
try using sysinstall to configure the card under the "interfaces" menu.
