Hello Raymond,

I use a 3CXM756 with 5.2.1-RELEASE and NEWCARD on an IBM Thinkpad
A30p. However, I know some laptops have general cardbus/pccard problems.
Have you verified that other pccards work under FreeBSD with you laptop?

If not, what model do you have (please post response to freebsd-mobile list)?

Perhaps someone with the same model laptop can help you better than I.
