Hmmm. That's odd.

Aside from the obvious clearing after a hang, the watchdog timer is
the driver's way of turning the card on in the first place. Nothing
should happen, even the turning of of the link LED, until after the
reset. Only then should you see the link and see any traffic.

One problem is that the card tries to start running before it is
configured. This may be what you are seeing. If so, try adding
pccardd_flags="-z" to rc.conf. That will pause your startup until the
card is ready to go.
