Hi,

I had troubles too finding out how to get PCMCIA cards to work with FreeBSD,
until I found documentation on The FreeBSD Diary.

http://www.freebsddiary.org/laptop.php

Basically you need to enable pccardd from /etc/rc.conf and hope that your
card is listed in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf
For my Psion Dacom networkcard I needed to modify an existing driver in
/etc/defaults/pccard.conf and placed it in /etc/pccard.conf

Whenever I reinstall FreeBSD on my laptop I need 2 minutes to get PCMCIA to
work.
