The Aironet card seems supported (i.e. NetBSD has a driver for it),
but it isn't configured in cobalt kernels.
It should just work on a kernel which has
> an* at pci? dev ? function ? # Aironet PC4500/PC4800 (802.11)
line in its config file like i386/conf/GENERIC.
See the NetBSD guide for details:
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/part-compile.html
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-build.html#chap-boot-cross-build-kernel
etc. to rebuild kernels from sources.
If it works, I'll also add it to cobalt/conf/GENERIC etc.
