As is reasonably well documented in the handbook, put 'pccard_enable="YES"' into /etc/rc.conf. I also strongly recommend adding 'pccardd_flags="-z"'. Finally, add either pccard_ifconfig or wi0_ifconfig with the appropriate config information. If you have the PCI card for a desktop, you must be running at least V4.4. The PCI bridge was not supported before then. Other than running a suitable version of FreeBSD, I am not aware of any problems with it, but have no personal experience. R.
