Likely you are misunderstanding something. pccardd must be restarted after each attempt to change the resources in /etc/pccard.conf. the default boot scripts use /etc/pccard.conf.sample, which is bogus and has changed for 4.1 (to be released later this year). You'll likely have similar problems with all cards until you can work out these conflicts. This is the suckiest part of the pccard system: configuration. It sucks. There's no nice way to say it. NEWCARD will help a lot, and iwasaki-san has been experimenting and prototyping code to make it less painful for 4.x since we won't change the default pccard system in 4.x, although we may backport NEWCARD to get cardbus support. That's likely not going to happen until the 4.2 timeframe, although preliminary cardbus support might be in -current when 4.1 ships. It might not.
