Not all the new messages are documented here, and many of them are

+WL200 PCI wireless cards are based on a Cirrus Logic CL-PD6729 bridge
+chips glued to an intersil prism2 pcmcia chipset w/o the PC Card
+form factor being present.
+These chips are special and require special care to use properly.
+One must set hw.pcic.pd6729_intr_path="2" in /boot/loader.conf.
+This tells the pccard system to use PCI interrupts for this odd beast.
+It is not possible to know automatically which kind of interrupts to use.
+OLDCARD devices (pcic and card) support this device.
+NEWCARD devices (cbb and pccard) do not support it at this time.
