It is more automated these days.  For the most part, I just insert a
card and it works.  I have 'pccard_ifconfig=DHCP' in my rc.conf file.
In fact, here's all the entries that I have:

pccard_enable=YES		# Enable pccardd
pccard_mem=0xd4000		# use alternate memory address since d0000 used
pccard_beep=0			# keep quiet on card events
pccard_ifconfig=DHCP		# use dhclient for all cards
