I've just ran into this on my laptop as well.

There's two issues affecting this chipset right now.  One is
port-i386/29018, the other is that the Ricoh chipset doen't seem
to like some of the other power related changes.

Apply this patch to the kernel (sys/pci/pccbb.c), and recompile/
reinstall with the cardbus support enabled.
