Let me restate my original dilemma.  My laptop can only use my WLAN card=20
when it's configured as a 16-bit PCMCIA device and not as a 32-bit CardBus=
=20
device.

In NetBSD, this can be accomplished by typing "boot -c" at its loader promp=
t=20
and typing "disable cbb*" to disable the cbb (CardBus) drivers, which=20
leaves the pcic (PCMCIA) drivers to correctly configure the card.  After=20
doing this, the card works exactly as hoped.

Similarly, I can get the same effect under Linux by disabling the "32-bit=20
CardBus support" option; the end result is a happily working WLAN card.

However, commenting out "device cbb" in my FreeBSD kernel results in a=20
non-working setup.  By that, I mean that the card's lights never flicker as=
=20
it's being inserted (as it would do under NetBSD and Linux when it's being=
=20
probed).  In fact, I get no debugging information at all, whether=20
from /var/log/messages or via dmesg.=20

Any ideas where I could go from here?
