The s30 is fairly recent; released in 2001, I think.  However, I tried 
these settings (both with and without polling irq) and it had no 
effect.  In all cases, as before, the wi0 card shows up as being on irq 5.

Also, was this suggestion OLDCARD specific?  (you mentioned man 
oldcard).  I can't run with the OLDCARD code or my machine hangs during 
boot (mentioned this earlier, but you may have missed it).

Summary for anyone who missed my earlier mail:

I have a 2001-ish IBM Thinkpad s30 (Japanese model)
FreeBSD 5.0 is the first release I can run on it
If I run the NEWCARD (default) pcmcia support, my Orinoco Silver 802.11b 
card is detected on IRQ 5
When I configure the network on the card, I get wi0: watchdog timeout a 
few times and the system grinds to a halt (force poweroff)
If I use the OLDCARD support in a new kernel, the machine fails to boot 
in the same manner as 4.8 did for me

Thanks all for the various suggestions, wish I had better news.
