Responsible-Changed-Why:
I'm reasonably certain this is a manifestation of kern/32938. The card is
an AX88190; there used to be code for such cards to frob the iobase to
what the pcmcia subsystem was expecting. The 1.6 hack bypassed the test
that checked whether that frob succeeded; in the 1.6 world apparently that
made the card work, but in 2.0 and later it doesn't. Nowadays that code is
not there anymore; instead there's a test in the attach logic marked "This
is highly bogus." Once 32938 is sorted out, that test probably needs to be
removed, and then maybe it'll work... if I understand all this correctly,
which is an open question.
 
In any event, this is as far as I can take it.
