    Something changed, but still did not work.  The CIS mapping could read
something, but still, nonsense.  Went to the sources, and suspected you meant
0xd0000, one zero less.  It worked!

    Looking in Windows resources, pcmcia devices start using from 0xcc000. 
Tried this, and it is working.

    Setting sysctl from rc.local is not useful, since I need to remove and
reinsert the card before using it.  I tried to fix it by setting the default
at /boot/loader.conf, but it did not work.  Setting it at /etc/sysctl.conf
seems to work, but there is a race condition.  Maybe the memory range
detection should be fixed, and/or loader should be taught how to set it.

    Thanks everybody,

                                        Jonny
