I have a "eMagic CardBus fireWire 2P 6-pin dongleless" card. It shows up
as a "VIA Fire II (VT6306)" card. I'm using it in a ThinkPad T41 laptop,
and it works (tested with a couple of external harddisks).
I'm running FreeBSD 5-stable (it's quite old):
root at kg-jobbpc3# uname -a
FreeBSD kg-jobbpc3.kg4.no 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #1: Sat Feb  5
20:36:25 CET 2005    root at kg-jobbpc3.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/T41
i386

dmesg output for this card is attached.

I have not tested anything related to suspend, hibernate or other
power-saving functions.
