VAIO better - next project Sierra Wireless A555

Thanks to two contributors (Marcel M and another with an irq fix)
the pccard slots (and builtin wireless) and pcm now work.  

For the next trick, I'm trying to get a Sierra Wireless A555 (verizon 
version) to work in current.  By following the hints in Sierra's website 
for Linux, I've managed to get the card so it at least doesn't crash fbsd,
and will connect to Verizon.  However, it only gets qnc transfer rates,
though it appears to be connected correctly to the 1X network (and when
I boot XP in the same location, I get full rate, so the problem isn't
signal strength....)

Patches for the pccard device list and quirks are at
http://users.altadena.net/~pete/a555/
for anyone who wants to try them (and maybe help figure out the magic to
get full rate.  I've been bugging the Verizon support folks and have
gotten some help, but it hasn't made it yet...)  I suspect that some
magic AT+xxx or AT$xxx is needed...  (undocumented, of course :-)
