For the benefit of the archive - here's the solution:
I had to change the PC CARD Controller Mode in the BIOS from
Cardbus/16Bit to PCIC.
Why it did work nonetheless with 4.6 escapes me, but hey - I'll take

Thanks to all who helped and to the person on
<http://www.freebsdforums.org>; who pointed me in the right direction.
Cheers,
Kai
