[ Well, as you've given virtually no information, here's a random list
of possibilities (however, to be fair, you've given more information
than most people). ]
* The pcic device in your laptop is not recognized/properly handled by
FreeBSD.
* You just rebooted from Windows. On some versions of FreeBSD (e.g.,
4.0 and 4.2), the pcic device is non-functional after rebooting from
Windows to FreeBSD. Depending on the circumstances, you may have to
reboot again, or you may have to cycle power.
* You're using a 4.3 release candidate (or a recent -stable), and the
pcic device is in polled mode. (Search the archives for more
information.)
* (Probably not likely, as you're using a laptop.) You've got some kind
of IRQ conflict; dmesg shows something like:
pcic0: <VLSI 82C146> at port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd0000 irq 10 on isa0
pcic0: management irq 11
Note the IRQs. In the above, they don't match, but they must, for
proper operation.
* (???) You're using a cardbus card, and you're not using -current (only
-current "supports" cardbus, but most people should *NOT* be using
-current).
