Did you really mean DWL-660? That doesn't seem to be listed on the 
D-Link web site. Reason I went looking is that that 650 cards I have on 
my desk at work are CardBus and not PCMCIA. You can easily spot the 
CardBus cards as they have a metal strip on the outside of the case 
right above the connector end.

Never had to find a carrier for one, but since CardBus is much more like 
PCI (they even show up as PCI devices under Windoze) I would suspect 
that this should be easier.

Of course, you will need to make sure that NetBSD has CardBus support, 
and that I don't have an answer for off the top of my head. Anybody?

TTFN,
John...
