  Then whoever wrote the release notes for 4.4-release was misled (from 
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.4R/relnotes-i386.html):

"In most cases, configuration of PCMCIA devices in laptops is simpler and 
more flexible. In addition, various Cardbus bridge PCI cards (such as those 
used by Orinoco PCI NICs) are now supported."

  I've seen conflicting opinions about this on the web, all I know is that 
it didn't work with 4.3 (the kernel froze during boot).

  So is the problem with the 575 a lack of cardbus support, a lack or a 
driver for the actual card, or a lack of a stable driver for either?
