that's correct.

This is good.

The PCCARD system is a bit different from the standard since cards can
come & go and it takes a while once the kernel finishes to pick up the
card.  By the time it's config'd and attached, the ifconfig lines in
rc.network are long gone.  The PAO system, from
http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO/, can handle resetting the card after
insertion.  

That, or manually re-ifconfig the card after inserting it.
