Yes, it was activated. i.e it says pccard_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf
but it isn't running when I look closer after a boot, so I added
pccardd_flags="-z" which used to help. But not this time.

When I put a card in the port it says:
end (ffffffff) > sc->memlimit (803fffff)
pccard0: Card has no functions!
cbb0: PC Card card activation failed

And that's it.

So I put in the pccardd_flags="-z"

But that makes no difference. The machine doesn't like pccard when
running CURRENT.

I just rebooted with the following setting:
hw.cbb.start_memory="0x20000000"

And now my Netgear card is detected as wi0 Will try to configure
the card to see if it is working properly :)

So it seems I'm cosing up to a solution!?
