6.2-R: CardBus problems

Hi

FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on my ThinkPad 600 notebook troubles me when using a 32bit 
CardBus Atheros based WLAN adapter. In 1 out of approximately 10 boots, the 
adapter is recognized and powered on, as it is supposed to. The other 9 times 
the only messages in dmesg are:

cbb1: card inserted: event=0x00000000, state=30000920
cbb1: cbb_power: 3V
cbb1: cbb_power: 0V

I already tried adding the following to /boot/loader.conf without any apparent
change in behaviour:

hw.cbb.start_memory=0xd8000

An old Lucent/ORiNOCO WaveLAN Gold 16bit/5V card works perfectly fine, either 
when plugged in at boot time, or inserted later.

Any suggestions as how to help fix this problem are highly appreciated.

Best regard, Andreas
