With cards like this it's always half or less. I'd start with half speed / write back.

half speed, i.e. 250 MHz, seems to be OK according to the product description. Which of the following three options should I try?

#define L2RAM_FLOWTHRU_BURST 0x00000000
#define L2RAM_PIPELINE_BURST 0x01000000
#define L2RAM_PIPELINE_LATE 0x01800000

pipeline burst is the most common type IIRC.

why on earth is NetBSD talking about a Lucent Sierra Wireless mobile adapter??? Is this a PCI ID mismatch in the kernel?

Yes and no. My guess is that the 'Sierra Wireless AirCard' is just another USB controller and a EVDO modem hooked up to it crammed into a cardbus card, which just happened to use the exact same PCI ID for the USB part.

maybe, but still it is incorrect to call that entry Sierra Wireless AirCard then.
OpenBSD for example has

product LUCENT USBHC2 0x5802 USB 2-port

http://pcwelt-wiki.de/wiki/11c1:5802:0000:0000 has

Vendor: 11c1 Agere Systems

Device: 5802 USS-312 USB Controller

So I think on NetBSD we should change in src/sys/dev/pci/pcidevs the line

product LUCENT EVDO 0x5802 Sierra Wireless AirCard 580

into

product LUCENT USBHC2 0x5802 2-port USB Host Controller

and update src/sys/dev/pci/pcidevs.h and src/sys/dev/pci/pcidevs_data.h

Agreed.

have fun
