... unless you're configuring the card with DHCP (which is IMV a Really 
Good Idea for laptops).

in that case put:
	pccard_ifconfig="DHCP" 
	pccard_enable="YES"

and other (approprate, pccard'ish) magic in /etc/rc.conf

and 
	interface "xe0" {
		media "media 100baseTX";
	}

in /etc/dhclient.conf

(you might also consider changing "media 100baseTX" to "media
100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" in either the ifconfig_xe0 or media
"..." bits also)
