>Description:
  No pcmcia cards I insert into the slot seems to be recognized by the system and to work. 
Referring, only for an example, to my pcmcia wireless Cisco 350 card (which I'm sure is well supported!) in my tailored kernel I have the relating devices

   # PCMCIA and cardbus bridge support
device		cbb		# cardbus (yenta) bridge
device		pccard		# PC Card (16-bit) bus
device		cardbus		# CardBus (32-bit) bus
# Wireless NIC cards
device		wlan		# 802.11 support
device		an		
device		awi		
device		wi		
#device		wl		

In rc.conf I enabled pccard_enable="YES"

Here an extract of dmesg.boot

These two last lines 

pccard0: Card has no functions!
cbb0: PC Card card activation failed

pop up in the /var/log/messages file every time I (re-)insert the Cisco wireless card AND..... EVERY OTHER PCMCIA CARD (ethernet, serial GPRS, smartmedia reader)!!!!!
