ThinkPad 600 - CardBus inoperative

hi

I cannot seem to get CardBus cards working with my ThinkPad 600 running
6.3-RELEASE. An old 16bit/5V orinoco card works fine. Turning on various
cardbus/cbb debug options in /boot/loader.conf reveals the following
messages during boot:

cbb1: <TI1250 PCI-CardBus Bridge> mem 0x20300000-0x20300fff at device 2.1 on pci 0
cbb1: Found memory at 20300000
cbb1: Secondary bus is 4
cardbus1: <CardBus bus> on cbb1
pccard1: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb1
cbb1: card inserted: event=0x00000000, state=30000920
cbb1: cbb_power: 3V
cbb1: cbb_power: 0V

I know there has been some talk about this on the lists some years ago.
Some suggested manually setting various hw.pci.link.LNK?.irq options in
/boot/loader.conf. Others said it had something to do with PCI bus numbering
and subordinate numbers. I tried tweaking the /boot/loader.conf to no avail,
but never found a working solution to this problem. Is there anything I can
do to help get this fixed?
