A combination of poor design in the card itself and, erm how fo I saw this
politely - poor implementation in the very old pccard and pccardd code.

The latest commit removes a lot of the intimacy with pccard. It "should" work
if NEWCARD implements the bits I need. Warner and I have been adding to the API
as needed over the past few months.

Trying to get the card going under NEWCARD is on my list after I saw
the recent changes to if_wi.c that made if_wi NEWCARD compatible. I can give it
a try over the next few days.
