Hi. You wrote that you had a problem with the NetBSD install:

Unfortunately, this sort of kernel problem is very difficult for us to
debug, so we probably can't help you with it unless someone (not me)
feels particularly inspired. Since this is a PCMCIA device, it might
have to do with an IRQ conflict (a known problem with NetBSD's PCMCIA
support) and might be resolvable somehow, but not trivially.
There also isn't much in the way of workarounds, other than trying
Linux instead. Sorry to disappoint.
