Could you give an idea of what the "trouble" is? dmesg if the card is
plugged in a boot time. Console messages from the insertion when
not. Errors?

Do you have any special setup in loader.conf? (You probably need at
least 'hw.cbb.start_memory="0x20000000"' and may need
'hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1"' to get the pccards to work.
