It should be supported. Can you send me a dmesg? It would be better
if you added
hw.pccard.debug=1
hw.pccard.cis_debug=1
hw.cardbus.debug=1
hw.cardbus.cis_debug=1
to /boot/loader.conf. This should enable us to tell you if it is
supported. Chances are excellent that support already exists for this
device and only minor changes are needed for you to use it.
