Helping arch recognize a PCMCIA card

I have a rather unusual 802.11b PCMCIA card, called a TEW PC/16.

This card is supported by the hostap driver, which is included in the kernel26beyond, but....

.... this card is unusual enough that it has to be added to the lists to bind it to the right driver.

So, on CentOS, I added this to /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf:

card "TrendNet TEW PC16"
   manfid 0x0274, 0x1601
   bind "hostap_cs"

And it just worked.

I simply can't find the equivalent file in Arch. I found /usr/share/hwdata/pcmciatable (which I suppose hwd uses), but adding this there had no effect:

0x0274  0x1601  "hostap_cs"   "TEW PC16"                                       "wireless"

I am completely lost here. Any hints?

It's an up-to-date arch with kernel26beyond.
