I will port what's already running under 3.x to -current/NEWCARD, not "port"
from another OS (again). Ho hum.

Okay.

Fine, it will probably help the overall code if I do this concurrently with
if_ray. As if_ray uses almost everything it can that's not straight PC-Card,
it's probably a good test.

In best reading between the lines mode I've got the following cards I can
test for you:
Card Interesting
Webgear Wireless LAN Messy stuff with memory maps
Xircom REM56G-100 Mutlifunction modem/ethernet and CIS stuff
Libretto 50CT Floppy ?
Adaptec 1460 ?
Option 56k Modem ?
NE2000 Ethernet Card ? CIS has "Telecom Device SuperSocket RE450T"
I might be able to get my hands on some WaveLAN cards from an Airport, and
3COM Megehertz modems/ethernet cards (borrowed from work).
Network drivers are all that I'm familiar with though.
