I recently tried doing this with an RPTI EP400 card (which is listed
in the Linux stuff). When I was done, I got the following:

pcmcia0 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 0
pcmcia0: CIS version 2.0 or 2.01
pcmcia0: CIS info: RPTI LTD., EP400, CISV100, \M^T\^D SL
pcmcia0: Manufacturer code 0xffffffff, product 0xffffffff
pcmcia0: function 0: network adapter, ccr addr 100 mask 1
pcmcia0: function 0, config table entry 48: I/O card; irq mask 9e3c; iomask 5, iospace
300-31f; mwait_required rdybsy_active wp_active bvd_active io8 io16 irqpulse
pcmcia0: function 0, config table entry 49: I/O card; irq mask 9e3c; iomask 5, iospace
320-33f; mwait_required rdybsy_active wp_active bvd_active io8 io16 irqpulse
pcmcia0: function 0, config table entry 50: I/O card; irq mask 9e3c; iomask 5, iospace
340-35f; mwait_required rdybsy_active wp_active bvd_active io8 io16 irqpulse
ne2 at pcmcia0 function 0 port 0x340-0x34f port 0x350-0x35f
ne2: enet addr has incorrect vendor code
ne2: (34:30:30 should be 00:80:c8)

Note that 34:30:30 is "400". Hmmm.

Here's the original Linux version:

    { "RPTI EP400",
      0x0000, 0x0000, NULL, NULL, 0,
      0x0110, { 0x00, 0x40, 0x95 } },

and here's the one I made for NetBSD:

    { "RPTI EP400",
      PCMCIA_MANUFACTURER_INVALID, PCMCIA_PRODUCT_INVALID,
      "RPTI LTD.", "EP400", 0,
      0x0040, { 0x00, 0x80, 0xc8 },

So what did I do wrong?
