If the card is a 16bit pcmcia car make sure the bridge is set to 16bit.
I had a similar problem on an old Thinkpad when trying to use a 32bit
cardbus nic while the bridge was set to default to 16bit in the BIOS.

AFAIK the use of dangerously dedicated mode has been discouraged for
some time. I don't see any real advantage of using it, and some BIOSes
have problems booting from such disks. Just create a big slice covering
the whole disk and go on.

Note the you only need one MS-DOS partition and you can put all your
BSD partitions inside that one. Like I've said above I don't see any
advantage in using the partition-less mode.

I wouldn't blame WITNESS on this. Laptops, especially old ones, have
incredibly slow disks. The buildworld process is heavily i/o bounded,
my bet is on the disk subsystem.
My experience with wi-fi on FreeBSD is limited, others surely can fill
in the blanks.
