Not yet. Work is ongoing and there is non-working code in -current that
is being converted from newconfig to new-bus. I believe current
estimates place working CardBus support somewhere after then 4.0
release. We're all eagerly awaiting this development, but it takes time.
Hopefully Warner's laptop will stop dying so he can develop when he has
the time.
For now, you'll have to get a PC Card Ethernet card. I've had good luck
with the 3Com Megahertz 10Mbps card (3CCE589ET) and I believe Warner
has one so it should stay functional. ;-)
