The new pccard code is still being worked on.
However, the old pccard code mostly works again, modulo a couple of
if_detach issues that I'm trying to work through.

: either the old PCCARD_MODULE, or the newbus code.)
The if_xe and if_fe drivers no longer work for pccard. You may wish
to investigate how the ep and ed drivers were converted. There is one
issue with the if_xe driver, namely it needs to access the CIS of the
card to determine which kind of card it is and that will need some
work in -current to get working again...
I can provide support for this effort, but I'm not sure that I have
time to do this effort.
