Steven,

3.5 was before a lot of the laptop stuff was fully integrated into
FreeBSD. While moving drivers back to 3.5 MIGHT work, I think your
best chance is to upgrade to 4.3-Release. Many more cards are
supported under this release and the functionality of the overall
pccard support is vastly improved.

In about  week 4.4 should be released and it's pccard support is
vastly better in may regards, especially in the sharing of IRQs which
are often in very short supply on laptops.

If you get into really gnarly problems with PCMCIA cards, check the
archives of the freebsd-mobile list. That's where the serious PCMCIA
work is discussed and you can get the most up-to-date information.
