(Posted on -mobile because it's a pccard problem, even though this is a
desktop machine :-)
I have got a Melco Airconnect card (basically a rebadged Wavelan) and am
trying to get it to work with the PCI adaptor which came with it, which has
a single pccard slot. I've tried both 4.0-20000718-STABLE and
5.0-20000728-CURRENT snapshots with the same results.
The PCI card is detected, and so is the pccard, but it gives timeout errors
as soon as it is configured.

Now, I was having similar problems with Linux too, which turned out to be
interrupt related (I could transmit one packet and then it gave timeouts). I
have now got this to work though, by using the latest 3.1.19 version of
pcmcia-cs, and configuring it with
PCIC_OPTS="irq_mode=0 irq_list=11"
Apparently the Ricoh chip has three IRQ modes (PCI, ISA, serial) and you
have to explicitly enable PCI mode.
[Aside: Under FreeBSD, I've also managed to lock up my machine several times
when inserting cards or restarting pccardd :-( I get a 'pccard inserted'
message but from that point on virtual console 1 anything I type is just
echoed. I can swap to the other VCs, but they don't even echo what I type.]
Anyway, I'm not very familiar with the FreeBSD bus model, so if you've got
any suggestions for things I can try to narrow down the problem, please mail
them to me. The output of Linux's "lspci" command is below. Notice that
Linux doesn't correctly identify that the card is on IRQ 11 (so I had to
configure it thus in PCIC_OPTS).
Thanks,
Brian Candler.
