Combo cards aren't supported in FreeBSD, with/without PAO.  Neither are
any 100MB cards, although Hosokawa has been threatening to commit a
really slow driver for a couple of weeks now.

The APM stuff in FreeBSD is *better* than in PAO, IMHO.  It has been
that way for a long time.  And, recently (in between 2.2.5 and 2.2.6)
the APM/PCCARD integration became usable in FreeBSD.  However, I just
fixed a couple minor bugs this morming and committed the code to
-current.  I'll merge it into -stable in a few days if no one notes any
bugs.

Feel free.  If you need any help, I'm available to answer questions
anytime.
