Anatoliy, Don't know whether you will have had an answer off thread but here is one to consider. The Broadcom chipset has been successfully made to run under FreeBSD, so there should not be a problem with the card per se. You will certainly need to get NDISulator (a.k.a. Project Evil) running and may have to ask on the mobile@ about successfully tried Windoze drivers to incorporate. The real problem you have is that your cardbus card is not being activated. There is a thread running now on mobile@ that seems to suggest that recent changes in CURRENT have broken cardbus support. Can I suggest following this thread and building against CURRENT when it appears to be fixed? 5.2.1p1 has been subject to a few advisories anyway so you really should be running a later patch set.
