First things firs; always include the full text of error messages, and
the command(s) that produce them in your problem reports.  It's very
hard to map what I know of the error messages onto your descriptions
otherwise 8)

You shouldn't be using the ifconfig_ed0 entry in /etc/rc.conf, you
should be using the pccard section below.  You _may_ have to add your
default route by hand.  Note that the pccard hasn't been detected when
/etc/rc.network runs, so it can't possibvly assign an address to your
card, or add a route via that address.  If you read the pccard.conf(5)
manpage, you will note that it descibes a script which can be invoked
when the card is inserted and removed - you may need to use this to
get your interface and routing right.
