pccardc enabler sucks.  if_xe.c in stable does all kinds of weird
things.

That's mostly doable.  Most of the goo to have a driver support
oldcard and newcard is present in -stable.  I have some more good to
MFC tonight or this weekend (just got RE approval).

if_wi_pccard.c might be a better thing to look at for something that
supports both oldcard and newcard in a sane way.

Maybe if you provided more details on the hardware, I could provide
more detailed answers, privately if necessary.
