The xe driver must be attached and initialized before an ifconfig
could be tried, and that happens when the pccardd daemon -which
must be enabled in rc.conf- detects the card insertion, and finds
the card in the pccard.conf database. If it is found, the script
/etc/pccard_ether is run, which configures the IP address,
netmask and default route.

The pccard_ether script uses the rc.conf variable "pccard_ifconfig". In
other words, you should add these lines to /etc/rc.conf:

pccard_enable="YES"
pccard_conf="/etc/pccard.conf"    ===> check this file!
pccard_ifconfig="inet <your IP address> netmask <your netmask>"
defaultrouter="<your default router>"

Hope this helps,
