The WaveLAN 802.11 cards have been supported for some time. I am
sending this message from my laptop via a Lucent Gold 802.11b card.

Your message contains no information to help you find the problem.

What messages do you get when you plug in the card? It should be
probed and the wi0 device created.

Do other PCMCIA cards work? If not, you need to make sure the pcic0
device may not be properly configured. Send dmesg contents. Make sure
rc.conf contains pccard_enable="YES" and pccardd_flags="-z".

If you get messages when you insert the card, please send them.
