I used to have a 480CDT which has the same controller. Support for it 
has always been troublesome, but I think it works in FreeBSD 5.x. 
Otherwise PCIC mode should work, but then you need the OLDCARD kernel 
and I'm not sure if FreeBSD 6 still has that. Try compiling a kernel 
without

device cbb
device pccard
device cardbus

and instead use

device card
device pcic

You also need to add 'pccard_enable="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf and since 
you're using a NIC you also have to setup 'pccard_ifconfig'.
