You are correct.  We don't have the automatic dynamic loading on card
insert feature working yet.  You can write a devd.conf rule for it, if
you like, but that's still a change.

That's a little odd.  I've only seen this sort of behavior on one of
my laptops.  It has a Ricoh 5c475 in it.  But it will freeze on insert
too...

Ignore this.

: CIS is too long -- truncating
: pccard0: Card has no functions!

Sadly, I have about 5 cards that do this, for reasons I've not been
able to track down. :-(.  What looks like is going on is that the CIS
isn't being mapped correctly.

Can't help you on the soft modem.
