My sympathies.  I went through this last December.

This looks like the problem I had.

These two are the same as on my machine:

chip0 <generic PCI bridge (vendor=10b9 device=1511 subclass=0)> rev 4 on pci0:0
chip1 <generic PCI bridge (vendor=10b9 device=1513 subclass=1)> rev 164 on pci0:2

This looks like pretty much the same machine.  I haven't included
comparisons of the other messages, because I'm running a 3.0-CURRENT
kernel as of last December, and without PCCARD support.

I went through a lot of trouble with this box when I bought it, and
finally established that the bridge is not supported.  On the other
hand, the only PCMCIA card I wanted to use was the 3Com 3C589C, and it
turned out that the standard 3.0-CURRENT kernel recognized it, so
that's what I'm using.  I suppose you could try the same and hope that
it recognizes both of your devices.
