Warner makes a good point, it appears that all the newer VAIO's are
almost exclusively ACPI-centric.

However, you way want to try stuffing these bits into /etc/rc.conf and
see if you get anywhere.

pccard_mem="0xd4000" or pccard_mem="0xd8000"
pccardd_flags=" -i 10 -i 11"

I haven't seen any of the newer VAIO's work correctly with a memory
address of 0xd0000, so I explicitly set either 0xd4000 or 0xd8000 (both
seem to work equally well for me).  Also force to IRQs 10 & 11 only.
Otherwise, I think it may try to pick up IRQ 9, which is exactly what
you don't want since that's the shared PCI interrupt that Sony uses.

May the Force be with you (yeah, it's been a long day already).
