I'm not having much luck getting my PCMCIA devices to work.  I've installed
the PAO package from the mobile computing page but it doesn't seem to have
helped.  There's no documentation for 'pccardc', and the system seems to be
unable to find any PCMCIA slots (it works fine under DOS).  Any additional
resources would be appreciated.

OS is FreeBSD 2.2-GAMMA, notebook is an "Ambra" which appears to be a branded
Chicony 8660 (486SX25, 8M, mono, circa 1994).  I haven't been able to find any
technical specs or other documentation which would tell me what kind of PCMCIA
controller chip it uses...
