I'd like to thank everyone that helped me with NetBSD on the new Sony
Vaio.  Once I built a new kernel with PCIC_ISA_INTR_ALLOC_MASK set to
mask out irq 9, the network card started working.

I also discovered that the Linux PCMCIA code treats the "NinjaATA"
card as a IDE controller, and that leads me to believe that the 
wdc PCMCIA attachment in -current will "just work".

BTW, has anyone thought about making the PCIC_ISA_INTR_ALLOC_MASK
variable more easily configurable at run time?  (Say, for example,
from the install floppy? :-/)  That would have really helped me out
in this case.
