I had no luck whatsoever with 4.x (RELEASE,STABLE,BETA) on C600, so I switched to 5.0-CURRENT. Works fine, even cardbus support works ok (using 3com xl cardbus card). It's very much a moving target (I rebuild daily to keep up on changes), but has been usable so far. My install was definitely non-standard: 1. Installed 4.2-RELEASE from CD w/o PCCARD support of any kind (disable everything you can). 2. Got box up without PCCARD support (wouldn't hang, but not usable). 3. Burned /usr/src from 5.0-CURRENT onto CD and copied over /usr/src. 4. Make buildworld, kernel, installworld. (build takes 132 minutes) 5. Box worked on 5.0-CURRENT. 6. Tweaked NEWCARD config to my liking, mostly ripped out fluff. 7. Now supports both cardbus cards and Dell Dock NIC's (not at same time, because I am lazy and never want this option). I am following the posts on -mobile, cvs-all, and -stable for a chance to try my hand at 4.3-BETA again. Without cardbus, though, I probably won't be happy without 5.0-CURRENT. One last note: I had no luck with XFree86 3.3.6; use port or packages install for 4.0.[23] and you should be fine. Let me know if you want to see my kernel config or my XF86Config, and I will post them privately.
