Do you get a line during boot saying that it found the hardware? Looking over the man page for rc.conf, there are a variety of pccard options. You may need to set one of them... (pccard_enable needs to be set to yes, as an example.) What is your rc.conf now? (pccard_ifconfig_ed0="DHCP" might be the right line to create the interface. man ifconfig and rc.conf for more details.) (You might want to bring the interface down by default if you start the computer without the card often.)
