Hi,

Bridging support has recently gone into NetBSD-current (the development
version of NetBSD), so you may not be able to do exactly what you
want with your laptop using NetBSD 1.5.1/2.

The Realtek 8139 cardbus cards is supported by the rtk driver in the
GENERIC_LAPTOP kernel. The PCMCIA cards are also supported by the rtk 
driver in the GENERIC and GENERIC_LAPTOP kernels.

Are you running the GENERIC kernel or the GENERIC_LAPTOP kernel? Check with:
	
	uname -a

You can check to see if the kernel detected your card by checking
the kernel message buffer messages relating to rtk:
e.g.
	dmesg | grep rtk

If it did, you can use the ifconfig command to configure the device.

best wishes,
