You only need to create a /etc/pccard.conf if you want to override the settings in the /etc/defaults/pccard.conf file. So, look in your /etc/defaults/pccard.conf to see if your network card is in there. If not, you may have to get a different network card too. If you do end up getting a new network card, make sure it is a pccard (16bit) and not a cardbus (32bit) card. Cardbus is just now being added to current, and it is not available in 4.x-STABLE yet. Good luck.
