I realize the pccardd as we know it will hopefully fade away before
too long, but in the mean time, would it be reasonable to either make
'-z' default with an option to turn it off or to put
'pccardd_flags="-z"' into /etc/defaults/rc.conf?

I have responded to several people over the past few months who were
having problems at boot because something in their startup needs the
network and the network had not yet started. The fix was easy, once
you know it, but very non-obvious, especially to a newbie.

I have never found any problem with the use of this option other than
a delay in the boot while the card in fully instantiated into the
system. Am I missing something?
