Well, yes. You are using NEWCARD (pccard + cardbus + dbb) and OLDCARD
(card + pcic). NEWCARD does not use pccardd and trying to do so will
fail rather badly. (But I guess you noticed.) I tries talking to a
device which does not exist in NEWCARD.

Instead you should be using devd. Try adding devd_enable="YES" to
/etc/rc.conf and see if things work a bit better. IF you are trying to
add  network card, you can manually fire off /etc/pccard_ether DDN
start (substituting the device name for "DDN") and see if the device
shows up in ifconfig -a. Normally devd will do this for you, though.

It is also quite possible that you will need to set
hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1". This is required on many
laptops at the moment. Warner posted that he has an idea what is
causing this, but that a fix will probably take a while.
