Run, don't walk, to www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO. The PAO package improves the
support for PCcard and APM systems in FreeBSD. Instead of using the
(lame) z? drivers, you use pccardd to hook up the ep or ed drivers
(or a variety of other drivers, such as sio, wdc, aic, spc...)
to the cards as you insert and remove them.
