After my tests I'm not sure where it is. Here's what I did:

   o Compiled a kernel without dc support so I could 

     # kldload if_dc

   o Loaded if_dc.ko as a module
   o Inserted the card
     
At this time the card was properly probed.

   o Ran dhclient dc0 and observed the card get an ip address from
     my dhcp server.
   o Did some more network tests (hit http://www.ebay.com in
     firefox...)
   o Turned off the card nicely prior to detaching it:

     # ifconfig dc0 down delete

   o Unplugged the card and observed it detach from the cbb0
     "slot".
   o Unloaded the if_dc driver:

     # kldunload if_dc

   o Suspend the laptop to standby mode:

     # sysctl hw.acpi.lid_switch_state="S3"

     Close the laptop's lid

   o Resume:

     Open the laptop's lid

   o Reload the driver (kldload if_dc...)
   o Pluggin the card

At this time the cardbus driver reports:

     "cbb0: CardBus card activation failed"

This leads me to believe that either the CardBus handler has a problem
attaching an existing "used" dc driver to the card after a
suspend/resume or the dc driver has left something in a state after
it's detach where a re-attach will not work correctly.

Has anyone got any other ideas?
