There are no known problems here specific to te 574.

I hate to tell you this, but you have a conflict between I/O and IRQ.

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.
