The correct would be the later, and I'll be doing that soon. It hasn't
been done yet for weird reasons better left unsaid. :-)

You'd be right, if you were right. :-) Pccardd expects what you said,
but defaults/rc.conf configures it to read pccard.conf.sample. In other
words, what is used is the .sample file, *NOT* the customized version,
unless you change that in /etc/rc.conf[.local].

That's my plan.
