Yep. Just write /etc/cardwatch/disk script to mount the card, copy
stuff away, etc...

I would really like them to make to the standard NetBSD as I have been
so used to them, that I cannot live without them, and every time I
update to new kernel, I need to do those few line patches to get them
working again...

One thing I was thinking could be add to the cardwatchd, is to
optionally send detach commands for each card when the system is
suspended and then again attach commands when the system is again
resumed. This way the wlan card would immediately notice when I resume
my laptop in the office, that it needs to change encryption key etc.

Now I just simply pop out the wlan card and reinsert it immediately
back, so it will run the proper attach routine for it and reconfigure
itself to new environment.

Other possibility would be to change the apm scripts to do know about
the wlan cards and try to reconfigure them when I resume the
machine...
