It's off-topic for this mailing list, but quite understandable.  The 
best place to bring it up is probably mobile; I've directed replies 
there.  The best *person* to contact is most likely Warner Losh, who 
has written and/or coordinated much of the support for PCCards, 
CardBus, etc. in FreeBSD, so I cc'ed him too.

Sounds like something we need.  I've got a prism1 and prism2 card I 
could donate, but that won't solve the larger problem; I'd rather have 
support for the new chipset instead.  Warner, let me know if I can help 
by sending a card or something.
