These should be supported by the iwi driver. See:

http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?iwi+4+NetBSD-current

for the online manual page. Some machines have cards with Atheros
chipsets
which should be supported by ath:

http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?ath+4+NetBSD-current

Cards which have Broadcom chipsets aren't supported currently, as there
is
insufficient documentation available. However, there is work being done
on
using NDIS drivers, so these may be useable in the future.

PS. The hardware pages on the NetBSD web server are missing some
drivers,
so it wasn't possible to spot that these are supported from the
"Supported
devices" pages.
