OpenBSD 4.3 and wireless total n00b question

So I have a Dell Latitude D600 with a Broadcom 1350 wireless chipset
built in which I gather is not supported, I get the following error at
boot up,

 

Bwi0: error 2, could not read firmware bwi-airforce.

 

Since I am not one to bang my head against the wall, and I find no
evidence that this chipset is supported I pull out my handy dandy pcmcia
wireless card 

That uses a different chipset. Now on bootup I get

 

02Micro, SmartCardBus Reader, V1.0 at mcmcia1 function 0 not configured.

 

I would like to get one of the two working.  I did some googling and
read the man cardbus, but I can make no sense of it. 

 

Sooo, if somebody could help a n00b with wireless, it would be much
appreciated.

 

Cheers,
