According to pccard_ether when not using DHCP :
		interface=$1
		shift
		ifconfig $interface $pccard_ifconfig $*
$interface is the name of your card, "ep0" here, so $pccard_ifconfig
should contain the value of $ifconfig_ep0, try modifying pccard_ifconfig
in /etc/rc.conf. (Maybe i'm wrong so other readers answers are welcome)

I've always used pccardd with default values in rc.conf :
pccard_enable="YES"
pccard_ifconfig="DHCP" or pccard_ifconfig="inet xx.xx.xx.xx. netmask
xx.xx.xx.xx" 

Regards

Eric
