On the laptop?  If so, the most clued pcmcia/cardbus guy in FreeBSD has
recently been sponsored to work on the cardbus support so that should be
working more and more in the -stable version as well as -current.

As for the swap problem, if you can afford to steal 64 megs from your /
partition you could tar it up, recreate / and swap, and untar / from
another partition using the fixit floppy.  Too bad you dont want to go the
other way and grow / since growfs is available for ffs =)
