-current as of May 27 with the April 28 CardBus patches (from ftp.netbsd.org:
/pub/incoming/jonathan/cardbus-1.4-9990428.tgz)

As for the chipset, let me search around a little....

Damn, I thought that it was a TI chipset, but it's a:

  Cirrus CLPD-6832 with Zoomed Video and 32-bit Cardbus
  support interfaced to the PCI bus

Also, a quick search via metacrawler for 'Cirrus' and 'CLPD-6832'
reveals that there was some traffic about this chipset and ExCA
registers on a Japanese email list called "bsd-nomads".

Here's the link to the the data sheet:

And my offer of beer stands.  In fact, I just found out that there is
a sushi place very near the Doubletree (hmmm, sushi :-P.....)  I'm a
pretty strong programmer, but kernel hacking is just a little too out
of my league.  If someone wants to make this happen, I'll gladly buy
the beer and/or sushi and help with the programming in any way possible.
