Here's a update. I plugged the card in while the laptop was off, booted up and now
the card works. When I pull the card out, I get the usual 'wi0 detached' messaged.
When I plug it back in, I don't get anything, and I have to reboot the OS to use the
card again.
Is there a tool that will let me probe PCMCIA devices? Also, is there a NetBSD
wireless HOW-TO/tutorial or maybe more related documentation somewhere?
Thanks
