RE: Sony VAIO w/ Linksys card
I don't think it is a hardware problem. I have the same laptop (currently out of the office). It has a Linksys EtherFast 10/100 Integrated PC Card. When I was dual booting with Win98 and Mandrake9.0, the card worked fine with both OS. I changed to Win98 and FBSD4.7. The card still works under Win98 but haven't got it configured correctly yet in FBSD. The hardware page lists: Linksys EC2T/PCMPC100/PCM100, PCMLM56, EtherFast 10/100 PC Card, Combo PCMCIA Ethernet Card (PCMPC100 V2) under the section: NE2000 compatible PC-Card (PCMCIA) Ethernet and FastEthernet cards ( ed(4) driver) When the laptop comes back from the field (2 weeks), one of our IT guys (more familiar with FBSD) is going to help me configure the driver. Will let you know how it goes. Hopefully someone else will have better answers before then. BTW, are you running X? I am having trouble getting it set up right.

I have a Linksys card in it. FBSD doesnt seem to recognize the Linksys card during the installation. Dont know why? Also, after installation, I added pccard_enable... to the /etc/rc.conf file now, it does see the card but, it see's it as ed1 device and it doesnt come up till after the boot is complete and im at a login prompt thats when it beeps and it gives me a ppcard started message, and I have to hit enter to get the login prompt back. Any help on this situation would be greatly appreciated. TIA I think it is a problem with the Sony not giving access to the PC card. I've tried similar things with the PCG-F series notebooks and a variety of different PC network cards, with no luck. I've tried without fail to use symantec ghost on the F series, which uses a DOS boot disk to boot to a DOS program that uses the Network card. On other machines such as Dells, Toshibas, etc, it works just fine, but on the Sony F series the NIC is never detected. This was a big clue to me that it must be some kind of hardware limitation with the Sony F series. I gave up trying to do anything with a Sony F series and a network card before an OS has fully booted up. That's just my experience, maybe someone else will have a better answer than me...
