It is more automated these days. For the most part, I just insert a
card and it works. I have 'pccard_ifconfig=DHCP' in my rc.conf file.
In fact, here's all the entries that I have:
pccard_enable=YES # Enable pccardd
pccard_mem=0xd4000 # use alternate memory address since d0000 used
pccard_beep=0 # keep quiet on card events
pccard_ifconfig=DHCP # use dhclient for all cards
