Okay, a bit more followup.
1. I turned off DMA on the card, and told the system to reserve IRQ 9 for
ISA devices. The card has no jumpers for IRQ, so I assume it wants one
assigned.
2. The system now says
pcic0 at isa0 port 0x3e0-0x3e1 iomem 0xd0000-0xdffff
pcic0: controller 0 (Intel 82365SL Revision 1) has socket A only
pcmcia0 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 0
pcic0: controller 0 detecting irqs with mask 0xdeb8:..9
pcic0: using irq 9
3. If I plug the card in, the little green light flashes once right as the
card is inserted.
4. I never get any further messages from pcic, from this card or any other
card I try to plug in to it.
I'm a little confused; I was looking for a daemon that interacts with this,
but I think that was a BSD/OS thing, not a NetBSD thing. My memory is shot.
It does look as though the PCMCIA<->ISA reader isn't working, though. *sigh*.
