First off, Thanks to both Christos and Julian for responding so quickly
to my question.  Additionally, I'd like to say that I appreciate that
both your answers were consistent, making this patch semm simple.

After I got the first response, I browsed further through the
if_ne_pcmcia.c sources and found the structures for Billionton's PCMCIA
10mb adapter. Since it uses the same chipset as the CF adapter I
followed your suggestions, copying and modify the structures in
"if_ne_pcmcia.c" and "pcmciadevs", then remade the headers and
recompiled the kernel.    VIOLA, IT WORKS!!  I've already sup'd the
entire package source distribution to my z50 and it seems rock solid. 
Thanks for the help.

Let me know if you want me to post the mods to the group.

Regards,

Mike F.

>From Julian, 

In summary, you need to add the correct information to pcmciadevs and
if_ne_pcmcia.c and rebuild your kernel.  See the kernel documentation
at:

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

for how to do that.

Looking at pcmciadevs, there is already an entry:

  product BILLIONTON LNT10TN    { "PCMCIA", "LNT-10TN", NULL, NULL }
Billionton Systems Inc. LNT-10TN NE2000 Compatible Card

with a corresponding match in if_ne_pcmcia.c:

    { PCMCIA_STR_BILLIONTON_LNT10TN,
      PCMCIA_VENDOR_INVALID, PCMCIA_PRODUCT_INVALID,
      PCMCIA_CIS_BILLIONTON_LNT10TN,
      0, -1, { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 } },

So, if you can find out the information for this card - by adding:

  options       PCMCIAVERBOSE

to your kernel configuration, you should be able to clone those entries
with
the correct strings added.  I would guess something like:

  product BILLIONTON CFLT_10N   { "CF", "10Base-Ethernet", NULL, NULL }
Billionton Systems Inc. CFLT-10N 1.0 NE2000 Compatible Card

for pcmciadevs, and then:

    { PCMCIA_STR_BILLIONTON_CFLT_10N
      PCMCIA_VENDOR_INVALID, PCMCIA_PRODUCT_INVALID,
      PCMCIA_CIS_BILLIONTON_CFLT_10N
      0, -1, { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 } },

for if_ne_pcmcia.c.

One final thing, you need to rebuild pcmciadevs.h and pcmciadevs_data.h
before you start a kernel build, by running:

  make -f Makefile.pcmciadevs

Hope this helps.
