Putting it in pccarddevs does exactlty nothing, but is a necessary
step. Likewise with /etc/pccard.conf, except it is completely
ignored. You need to add it to src/sys/dev/wi/if_wi_pccard.c and send
me a patch.

I've gone ahead and added this to the wi driver in head.

Thanks warner for the commit and I figured out why It wasn't working
for me... I forgot to add the wi and wlan devices to my custom kernel.
This box is my main desktop computer, hardwired to the net. I decided
to use it for testing out a new PCMCIA to PCI bridge controller for my
firewall/router/AP boxes. D'oh!

wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.1), Station (1.8.2)
wi0: Ethernet address: 00:04:e2:81:e6:43
Card 2, downgraded firmware to work in hostap mode with a PCI bridge
controller and kismet.
