Is anyone able to use the Novatel "Merlin for Ricochet" PCMCIA card on 
NetBSD?  (I'm running 1.5.1 Beta).  NetBSD seems to be having trouble 
reading the CIS structure from the card, and ultimately decides that 
something is wrong.  Some debugging output from pcmcia_cis is enclosed 
below.

The card itself is working much better than that -- BSD/OS 4.1 can 
recognize the card, though it senses some anomaly:

tpce_pd_cv: unknown extension byte 0x6d
Slot 0: flags=0x3<UP,RUNNING>
        Attached device: com4
        Manufacturer Name: "Novatel Wireless"
        Product Name: "Merlin Ricochet Modem"
        Additional Info1: "NRM6842"
        Function ID: 2 (Serial)
        Assigned IRQ: 9
        Assigned I/O port1: 0x3e8-0x3ef
