The problem with your office can be solved by updating to a recent
4-STABLE which will has a new /etc/pccard_ether that uses
ifconfig_<device> arguments and only uses pccard_ifconfig for
compatability.  For the wavelan, I don't know of any way to select a
config based on the slot you are in, but you might take a look at:

http://www.one-eyed-alien.net/~brooks/FreeBSD/config802.diff

which contains some code for automaticaly selecting a wireless config.
It's not very up to date and will require manual integration into
/etc/pccard_ether, but it did work OK work wi cards in infrastructure
mode last time I used it.
