Take a look in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf. There should be a kernel
configuation file called OLDCARDBUS, or something to that effect. It's
my understanding that this configuration file uses the old (FreeBSD 4*)
system for dealing with pcmcia cards.
Using the old cardbus configuration file didn't fix anything on a Compaq
Presario 910US. The pccard slot configuration needed manual tweaking
in FreeBSD 4.*; but it didn't work under either cardbus system when
running FreeBSD 5*.
Best of luck,
Andrew Gould
