http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/kernel/#new_pcmcia_device

> I have an "Intel AnyPoint" wireless network card.  I recompilied my 
> kernel so that the card is recognized on boot, but it does not get 
> bound to a driver.  Every pcmcia network driver is uncommented in the 
> Kernel config file.  I found on the net that someone configured this 
> card in FreeBSD using the wi driver, but I haven't found how to do 
> this manually in NetBSD.  Any help will be appreciated.
