[ CC'ing benh as he wrote this module and hopefully knows the authoritative
answer to this. ]

It's not absolutely clear to me on which bs this card is. But I can tell you
that it is not on PCI and it is probably somehow related to PCMCIA but it
does not need the yenta_socket module (which is otherwise needed for the
PCMCIA socket on the powerbook). I suspect the necessary logic to access the 
card is directly built into the kernel module. 
I think we cannot detect this card with discover and should try to load the
module if it is present like we do for other modules in hw-detect.sh. 
Ben, is there a better way to detect the airport card?
