There's an Wavelan driver package for FreeBSD written by Jim Binkley
<jrb@cs.pdx.edu>.  But this package contains only old 'ze and zp
style' non-hotplug PCMCIA driver.

If nobody has succeeded to write hotplug PCMCIA driver, I can write
hotplug enabler patch to this package.

(it's not difficult for me, but I don't have Wavelan cards, so I want
testers.  if you can test it, please e-mail me)
