Hello to you all,

I have a Avaya Silver wireless PC card, and my laptop is a Compaq
Armada M300. I recently installed netbsd 2.0.

The distro detects the card, but when it tries to bring it up, i
either get a "hardware failure" message and freezes, or it freezes on
bringing up wi0.

here is what the bootup looks like:

wi0 at pcmcia0 function 0: Avaya Communication, Avaya Wireless PC
Card, Version 01.01
wi0:

and it just stalls there.

if i plug it in after boot up it freezes the computer.

Here is my dmesg:
