Well, I have no idea what the controller is... nothing in the
documentation says what its meant to be...
Looking at the windows driver, I think its called a:
02Micro 026832/6833 Cardbuss

Could it help to specify the interrupt and irq settings etc
in /boot/kernel.conf? Not that I actually know what those
settings are meant to be...

On boot up it finds two PCI to CardBus bridge's... But
pccardd gives one of two messages, ether:
/dev/card0 not configured or
error: No PC-Card Slots

Thanks for your help!
Kal.
