Is your network card already working?  (That is, does it probe and attach when 
you plug it in?)  If so, you don't need to use pccardd.  FreeBSD 5.x uses a 
completely different driver for all of the pccard stuff that supports most 
laptops.  Only some older non-cardbus laptops need the OLDCARD stuff that 
uses pccardd IIRC.

Nope.
