Note this includes changes to all drivers and moves some device firmware
loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral). Also there
no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now
bundled into the wlan module.

Provide a backwards compatible way to have the extra macro by defining
PCCARD_API_LEVEL 5 before including pccarddevs for driver writers that
want/need to have the same driver on 5 and 6 with pccard attachments.

Also, go ahead and fail if we can't load the firmware. It should have
failed like this, but never did (firmware loads generally don't fail).
CIS, weren't actually used anywhere (other than the generic PC Card
code when certain variables are defined). They aren't used in NetBSD
either. Make things simpler by removing them. Change PLANEX_2 to
PLANEX and tweak wi and owi to use that instead. The PLANEX id seems
to actually be pci ID assigned to planex, not its pcmcia id. Ooops.
I don't know if this is a reporting error from where this entry came
from, or if it is a mistake on PLANEX's part. I suspect the latter,
as ACTIONTEC and NEWMEDIA made the same mistake (although new media
may be because it uses an advansys chip inside). Make a note of this
in the file. The 0xc entires may be JEITA assigned, so note that as
well.

different cards that matched vendor/id, but weren't wi cards. This is
because the vendor foolishly didn't have unique product ids. Symbol
has a serial card that would otherwise match the wi driver, for
example...

there's not dependencies on pccard symboles, such a dependency is not
necessary. This means that drivers that have multiple attachments can
not drag bogus devices into the kernel at load time.
We can't (yet) do this with pci and isa. Drivers written for them
actually do seem to have symbols that depend on these busses'
implementation code.
ndis not touched until other things can be tested.

- Don't abuse module names to facilitate ifconfig module loading;
such abuse isn't really needed. (And if we do need type information
associated with a module then we should make it explicit and not
use hacks.)
of the entries have a description, we'll use that to override the
description that the pccard layer generates for us.
This saves about 930 bytes in the module, so I feel it won't hurt the
crowded boot disks....
