Well, first, it could be that if you dont enable the PnP bios, your
BIOS isn't enabling the cardbus chips, or is enabling them
incorrectly.

Also, Hayakawa-san's CardBus patches mention some controller/bios
combinations which which don't properly map CardBus controller
interrupt lines through into PCI configuration space, or something
like that. But if the interrupt lines are visible, then the IRQs 
should be handled correctly. 


But why is a CardBus brdige getting attached as a WSS?
Does FreeBSD show a WSS at irq10, or is our wss probe busted,
and accepting your CardBus bridge as a sound device?

Uncool.  Have you tried the cardbus patches?  I cant promise they do
any better, but if you're stuck, its worth trying.
