There's some changes in -current's newcard that work around issues
with the 02micro, but they haven't been ported to OLDCARD. Feel free
to port them, I'll commit them if you can test them.

and reboot. It enables ISA interrupt routing.

It had no effect on the problem, I will be working with Warner Losh to
see if I can resolve this one.

Thanks for the suggestion!

pccard: card inserted, slot 0
But in the case of my netgear 802.11b MA401 it should bring up a wi0
device, but it doesn't. Same for any type of pcmcia card.

I read somewhere that FreeBSD doesn't support hot insertion of pcmcia devices. I believe if you want FreeBSD to bring it up you have to configure everything and reboot. What you described happened to me before I got my card working.

This is not correct. I've seen drivers for individual cards barf on eject,
but in general hot-swapping works just fine and always has.
