Remove the cnw(4) driver. No one responded to calls to test it on current@
and stable@. It also is a driver for an older non-802.11 wireless PC card that is quite slow in comparison to say, wi(4). I know Warner wants this driver axed as well.

-.Sh NAME
-.Nm cnw
-.Nd Netwave AirSurfer wireless network driver
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Cd "device cnw"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-interface provides access to a theoretical 1Mb/s wireless Ethernet network
-based on the Netwave AirSurfer Wireless LAN (formerly known as the Xircom
-Netwave Wireless LAN).
-.Pp
-Note that the driver does not support newer devices
-such as the Netwave AirSurfer
-.Dq Plus ,
-or the BayStack 650/660.
-.Pp
-Netwave devices are not compatible with IEEE 802.11 wireless networks.
-Also note that there are Netwave devices with different wireless frequency,
-depending on the radio band plan in each country.
-.Pp
-The card uses 36K of I/O memory mapped to the card.
-.\"The card uses 32K of I/O memory mapped to the card along with either 16 I/O ports
-.\"or 4K of additional I/O memory for access to command registers.
-.\"The driver currently only supports the use of the additional 4K of I/O memory.
-You may need to increase memory space available to the PC Card controller.
-See
-.Xr pccard 4
-for details.
-.Pp
-In use, the cards appear to achieve up to a 420Kb/s transfer rate, though
-a transfer rate between 250Kb/s and 350Kb/s is typical.
-.Pp
-The card operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range and is subject to interference
-from microwaves, IEEE 802.11 wireless network devices, as well as earth.
-For example, it seems that IEEE 802.11 channel 14 conflicts with Netwave
-(US frequency).
-They interfere with each other if they are both operated
-in the same geographic region, causing weird packet loss.
-You may be able to avoid the interference with IEEE 802.11 devices,
-by changing the IEEE 802.11 channel.
-.Sh HARDWARE
-Cards supported by the
-.Nm
-driver include:
-.Pp
-.Bl -bullet -compact
-.It
-Xircom CreditCard Netwave
-.It
-NetWave AirSurfer
-.El
-.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
-.Bl -diag
-.It "cnw0: can't map memory"
-Indicates that the driver was not able to allocate enough PC Card bus
-address space into which to map the device.
-See
-.Xr pccard 4
-and increase memory available to the PC Card controller.
-.El
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr arp 4 ,
-.Xr inet 4 ,

-.Xr pccard 4
-.Sh HISTORY
-The
-.Nm
-driver was ported from
-.Nx
-by
-.An Hiroyuki Aizu Aq aizu@jaist.ac.jp .
-It first appeared in
-.Nx 1.4 .
-The first
-.Fx
-release to include it was
-.Fx 5.0 .
-This manual page was adopted from
-.Nx
-by
-.An Christian Brueffer Aq brueffer@FreeBSD.org .
