I have one of these in my laptop (Lattitude C800) too, but I got the
"cannot allocate IRQ" error and haven't had time to look into it
further. I did try the "-I -i 11" trick though and it didn't work. I
also noticed that the card isn't picked up if i reboot coming from
windows (instead I get something like no entry for "null,"null"), its
only seen if I boot to freebsd first. I also get a whole lot of
scrolling "event mask 0xfffff..." types messages during boot. 

All of this was using stable from a few days ago (when warner sent the
last set of patches to the list). Did you have to do anything to get it
to work?
