I wonder if it is an address space clash (have a look at the pccardc man 
page)? I had this problem a lot with certain cards using wi... 
You may try setting pccard_mem = 0xDN000 (in /etc/rc.conf) where N = 0 (the 
default), 4, 8, or C.

there is a timeout function too... see /etc/defaults/rc.conf and search for 
pccard... You may find increasing it helps.
