I went to the archives, and got some info, as well as help from here. Mine 
(REM56+)  is working now but I still have to do ifconfig and set the address, 
and defailt route every time I boot up. The pccard_flags+"-z" is supposed to 
keep the system from finishing rc.conf untill the nic is done but I haven't 
got it right yet. 

Here is what I had to do to get mine to at least configure.

Add to /etc/sysctl.conf



# /etc/sysctl.conf
machdep.pccard.mem_start=oxdoooo

___________________________________________________________
I added to /etc/rc.conf


# /etc/rc.conf
linux_enable="Yes"
pccard_enable="YES"
pccard_mem="0xd0000"
pccard_ifconfig_xe0="inet 192.168.14.8  netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="192.168.14.1"
hostname="chiefnb.ptfd.org"


____________________________________________________________
and to /etc/pccard.conf (this you will have to modify for your specific card. 
I copied the info lines from /etc/defaults/pccard.conf.


# /etc/pccard.conf
card "Xircom" "16-bit Ethernet + Modem 56"
         config  0x27 "xe" ?
#        config  auto  "sio" ?
         insert  /etc/pccard_ehter $device start
         remove  /etc/pccard_ether $device stop




Hope this helps
