| As I briefly mentioned, NEWCARD doesn't work for me, so I didn't
| actually get any info from inserting the card. However, I figured you
| might still be interested in the dmesg so here it is.
|
| I also found a message in the archives with apparently exactly the
| same problem. It was fixed by enabling acpi, which this laptop
| unfortunately does not support.

For NEWCARD in additional to first patch:

Try following at boot prompt:

set hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1"



Or try patch from PR/66848 <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=66848>
