So I installed the Feb 5 snapshot on my laptop recently and have not been
able to get PCMCIA working again since.  I seem to have two problems:

First, if I compile PCIC support into the kernel and enable PCCARD support
in /etc/rc.conf, I end up with a system where the kernel has PCIC support
AND I load the PCIC kernel modules at boot time.  Both modules seem to
detect my PCMCIA controller just fine, except only the loaded module seems
to work.  It detects cards in slots 2 and 3.  Slots 0 and 1 are apparently
allocated to the built in kernel driver.  If I compile a kernel without
PCIC support, the module load fails at boot time (Invalid exec format).

On to the second problem.  If I decide to ignore the fact that freebsd
thinks my laptop has 4 PCMCIA slots and that only slots 2 and 3 work, I can
start pccardd.  pccardd tends to be unhappy because my PCMCIA ether card
uses the ep driver, which I have compiled into the kernel.  For some
reason, neither it nor the sio driver are detected at boot time as valid
PCMCIA drivers (not that I care about the sio driver).  The ed driver is
detected fine, but I have no need for that driver...*sigh*.

So, any ideas?  I had this all working a month ago...
