pccard not working on old laptop

I've installed 6.2 on an old laptop.  I've been unable to get it to detect
the pccard bus, and therefore have no networking.  It worked on this laptop
in the BSD 4.x days.  I've seen several posts in the archive mentioning that
the fix prior to 6.x was to replace:
device     cbb
device     pccard
device     cardbus

with:
device     pcic
device     card

but that this old driver was removed in 6.x.

Everything in the dmesg.boot appears successful until:
...

Any suggestions?

Thank You, all
