Some people I know are doing config like that, although most are using insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -p 1 in case it doesn't end up being 0 for some odd reason. I added some configuration variables to the PAO pccard_ether scripts and set it all up in rc.conf, which means I can change the configs without restarting pccardd. You should be able to do similar to the 4.0 pccard_ether. I much prefer the PAO style pccard_ether scripts and config variables - the 4.0 ones don't seem to let you have different IPs for different network cards. Are there any plans to extend the 4.0 scripts to be more like the PAO style, or was this change intentional ? (The old PAO pccard_ether* scripts work fine on a 4.0 machine).
