Cardbus detection at boot time...

Hi,
I have seen similar questions asked in -mobile w/ no answer, so I thought
I would take a shot here...
I have a Dell Inspron 5100, and I have been using (until this weekend)
5.2.1-REL w/ a Netgear MA401 PCMCIA 802.11b wireless card. The wireless
card has been getting nicked over time, and I thought it would ne nice
to get a card upgrade. I had a Cardbus card already (Netgear WG511),
but it's Prisim 3 based, so there wasn't a native driver for it...
So I picked up a Atheros based card (DLink DWL-G650) And it works fine
with the ath driver. However, the one nag I have is that FreeBSD won't
detect the card at boot time:
cbb0: CardBus card activation failed
I have to pop the card out and pop it back in (or pop in the card after
the initial detection) for the card to be detected properly.

This weekend I updated to -current to use the NDIS driver w/ the WG511,
and although I got the card to work, I have the same boot-time issues.
(Guess it's a generic CardBus issue)
Has anyone found a workaround in perhaps /boot/device.hints to
fix/workaround this issue?
Thanks - Peter
