We are trying to getting his wireless nic up, but seem to
have run into a cardbus issue.  I've built a custom kernel
and stripped out all unneeded device drives.  During boot,r
we see

cardbus0: CIS pointer is 0!
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=1000000
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=0
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=1c, size=1000000
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=24, size=80
cbb alloc res fail
found->      vendor=0x10de, dev=0x0299, revid=0xa1
        bus=2, slot=0, func=0
        class=03-00-00, hdrtype=0x00, mfdev=0
        cmdreg=0x0003, statreg=0x0010, cachelnsz=8 (dwords)
        lattimer=0x00 (0 ns), mingnt=0x00 (0 ns), maxlat=0x00 (0 ns)
        intpin=a, irq=255
        powerspec 2  supports D0 D3  current D0
        MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit

Has anyone seen this problem and do you have some recommendations
to fix or work around the issue?

This message most commonly comes up when the NIC/PCCARD is NOT supported
by a native FreeBSD driver.  For example:

cardbus0: CIS pointer is 0!
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=2000
ndis0: <Belkin 802.11g Network Adapter> mem 0xf6002000-0xf6003fff irq 11
at device 0.0 on cardbus0
ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1
ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:11:50:7b:ba:b1

is the output for my Broadcom-based wireless NIC.  I use a WinDoze
driver and the ndis interface.
