 There are some values hardcoded into the pccbb driver which is causing 
 this.  Please try the patch at:
 http://people.freebsd.org/~jon/newcard.diff.1
 Please tell me whether this fixes your problem.

 The problem is that since your pccbb bridge is located on some pci bus 
 other than the root pci bus, only certain memory ranges is forwarded along 
 to this bus.  If the cardbus bridge tries to use thoes unavailable ranges, 
 things will break.

 This is one of those WinModem-like devices.
