At some point (when I or someone else in the project finds lots of time) we'll go through the PCCARD code (/sys/pccard), extend, document and clean it up enough so that 'normal' users can use it. It's really a much better way of doing things, but it currently requires too much internals knowledge to get it working. The BSD-Nomads in Japan have done a pretty good job of extending it, although some of the extensions introduce other bugs, so that's why their code isn't in the mainline.
