Okay, then the card isn't receiving the ifconfig. From what you say in c)
below, it looks like rc.conf wasn't written properly.
It should look something like this..
network_interfaces="lo0 de0" # List of network interfaces (lo0 is
# loopback).
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration.
ifconfig_de0="inet 203.56.180.200 netmask 255.255.255.0"

What model of Kingston?

Since the ifconfig failed above, I bet that the routing isn't correct
either. I'm not that familiar with ppp -auto usage however, see
http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/.

Not a big deal, it should ifconfig anyway.
