Up to now, I've ALWAYS had problems with NetBSD and PC-MCIA cards on my 
laptops.

The good news is that these problems have ALWAYS been solved by applying 
what is here :

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-3.0/i386/INSTALL.html#Possible%20PCMCIA%20issues

In particular the part about :

    After installation, this value can be permanently written to the
    kernel image directly with:


           |||#|* cp /netbsd /netbsd.bak*
           |||#|* gdb --write /netbsd*
           |||(gdb)|* set pcic_isa_intr_alloc_mask=0x0a00*
           |||(gdb)|* set pcic_isa_alloc_iobase=0x330*
           |||(gdb)|* set pcic_isa_alloc_iosize=0x0bf*
           |||(gdb)|* quit*
           |||#|

    or you could specify these value when configuring your kernel, e.g.:


        | |

        options PCIC_ISA_INTR_ALLOC_MASK=0x0a00
        options PCIC_ISA_ALLOC_IOBASE=0x330
        options PCIC_ISA_ALLOC_IOSIZE=0x0bf
              

    If you can get your PCMCIA card to work using this hack, you may
    also ignore the [PCMCIA] notes later in this document.
