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. Warner
