I'm not familiar with Cardbus based controller so I have no clean
idea how to attack this at this moment. Basically all Cardbus
controllers are seen as PCI device in device driver. Because re(4)
successfully attached to the controller and re(4) supports RTL8110
based controller I think you may want to try enabling a loader
tunable like the following in /boot/loader.conf file.
hw.re.prefer_iomap="1"
If /boot/loader.conf does not exist on your box, try crate it and
reboot and let me know whether that makes any difference on your box.
