OK, looks like it failed to probe.  At a guess is appears that this
card is conflicting with something else, otherwise it wouldn't be
failing these probes.

: How intelligent is pccardd? This card has several config entries,
: but only the first one contains also possible IRQs, the additional
: entries only contain I/O ports. So I also tried to use the first one
: (and disabling the conflicting sio0 in BIOS + kernel config)

pccardd does what you tell it to do.  The IRQs in the CIS entries are
just hints anyway, pccardd is free to ignore them if it sees fit.
They are there to tell the BIOS that "cards of this type are generally
mapped to these IRQs, be nice to stupid drivers and map them there
please."  FreeBSD doesn't have any stupid drivers. :-)

However, I don't think the irq issue is your problem.  I think that it
may be that you are trying to map a serial port to where one might
already exist.
