    1) posting your rc.conf, and card details and the relevant bits of dmesg
    would help.

    But long time since I ran 4.x on my laptop but istr

    man pccardd

    will tell you about the -z flag

    which will delay daemonizing pccard until it has probed
    and attatched to your card
    and a quick snoop around /etc/defaults/rc.conf
    would tell you about pccard_ifconfig="NO"
    which I think you either need to set to "DHCP"
    or something like
    pccard_ifconfig="inet 192.168.12.100 netmask 255.255.255.0"
