A quick search in the sources I found this:
{ PCMCIA_VENDOR_LINKSYS, PCMCIA_PRODUCT_NETGEAR_FA410TXC,
PCMCIA_CIS_DLINK_DFE670TXD,
0, -1, { 0x00, 0x05, 0x5d } },
in dev/pcmcia/if_ne_pcmcia.c
check the const struct ne2000dev ...
I'm not sure if pcidump -v will print out information about the PCMCIA card too,
but there you should find vendor and product ID of the card.
also found this:
http://openbsd.7691.n7.nabble.com/Socket-10-100-Ethernet-CF-Card-td206491.html
Maybe your MAC address is not matching?
cheers,
