You need to add an entry for it in /etc/pccard.conf.
Try grabbing a copy of src/etc/pccard.conf.sample from
online CVS tree at www.freebsd.org and extracting the
entry I added not too long ago.  I'm typing this message
from a laptop with one in it right now. :)   I'm using
the ep0 driver, since the probe code in the zp pukes
on the new version string.  I have half a fix for the
zp driver but dropped the ball when I found out that the
ep driver worked without any changes.
