Hmmm...here's what I have:

/etc/pccard.conf:

# AT&T GIS Wavelan PCMCIA
# If you want to use Japanese version, uncomment the second config
# line and comment-out the first line.
card "AT&T" "WaveLAN/PCMCIA"
        config  default "wlp0" any      # US version (915MHz)
#       config  default "wlp0" any 0x01 # Japanese version (2.4GHz)
        ether   wavelan
        insert  logger -s AT\&T WaveLAN PCMCIA inserted
        insert  /usr/sbin/wlpconfig -i $device -w 5692
        insert  /etc/pccard_ether $device
        remove  logger -s AT\&T WaveLAN PCMCIA removed
        remove  /etc/pccard_ether_remove $device

/etc/rc.conf:

pccard_ether="wlp0"
ifconfig_common="inet 216.231.36.127 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_wlp0=$ifconfig_common

Try switching your ifconfig lines in /etc/rc.conf around and see if that
helps.
