Setting debug.acpi.disabled=hostres in /boot/loader.conf
did not help.  I tried this with a recent kernel from HEAD.

More info.  I've found that kernels:

   March 31 - work, ath attaches and works

   April 1 - June 6: panic on cardbus attach

   June 7 - HEAD: work, but ath doesn't attach


I found the commit that fixed the panic:

I applied this patch to the April 1st kernel (which previously
paniced) and was able to boot the kernel.  ath still does not
attach.

So the commit that broke my cardbus ath occurred on April 1.
