Can you put a echo "I'm in pccard_ether" type line in /etc/pccard_ether and see if that's being run at boot. Like I said in my last response, I just confirmed that it is running on my machine. I've had some problems with CardBus cards on boot not probing, but that's a different problem that I'm aware of and working on a solution for and has nothing to do with devd.
