..don't bother installing -CURRENT. Its pc-card/cardbus code is broken on the Vaio PCG-R505* (installed on Dec. 16 from snapshots.jp.FreeBSD.org). I just confirmed a little earlier today that it works OK on 4.4-RELEASE. I'm using a SMC 2632W Prism2 802.11b card courtesy of 4.4R. All efforts I could make (knowing absolutely nothing about the FreeBSD kernel and/or pccard code) to get the pccard/cardbus stuff work (kept getting errors about reading the wrong amount of data regardless of where I pointed pccardd at in memory) failed. 4.4R, on the other hand, worked out of the box. It's a Sony Vaio PCG-R505JL, to be exact. It has a Ricoh RL5C475 PCI-CardBus bridge.
