OLDCARD is what you want to grep for.

Yes.  OLDCARD has been removed from current.  you should migrate to
device cbb and pccard instead.  This sounds like a resource issue with
newcard.  Some machines need to set hw.cbb.start_memory to something
like 0xf0000000 or 0xff000000 or 0xd0000000 or some other value.  I'd
try 0xff.... (adding one f and removing one 0) until it works, and
then try 0xd0000000, 0xe0000000, 0xc0000000, ... 0x80000000.

If that fails, then you may need to set hw.pci.host_mem_start to the
same sorts of values.  In fact, it might be better to start with this
tunable first.  However, it will likely only be helpful if cbb is
attached to pci0, and not pciN (N > 0) since it is only effective,
really, for those systems that have no pcib.

The hard lockups might also be due to subtle differences in how power
is applied to the card.  However, since dmesg says the card is
unrecondized, let's try the allocation address first.  Given the
insert/remove problems there's a chance this is the problem.  Maybe
you have an older version of the TOPIC chipset, or its programmed,
setup in the BIOS a little differently than mine.
