Ok, maybe irq 5 is in use by something else (a sound card?). Try
using an irq that works, and then overriding the list of available
irqs in /etc/pccard.conf so as to exclude the management irq you
chose e.g.:
in /boot/kernel.conf:
irq pcic0 3
in /etc/pccard.conf:
irq 10 11
I have also had some success with the following patch. It causes
the pcic driver to perform polling even if it is configured in
non-polling mode. The non-zero IRQ stops the hangs, but polling
helps the reliable detection of insert/remove events. Maybe try
this with the pcic irq set to 5, and irqs 3,10,11 in /etc/pccard.conf?
