None.  I failed to remove it from /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

 I can't find any use of pccard_ifconfig also. But there is no reference of  
 the removal of these settings in UPDATING.

pccard_ifconfig is now also gone.  ifconfig_DEFAULT can be used int it's
place if you really need that functionality.  It is preferred to set
ifconfig_ifn instead in most cases.

 Where can I find the latest docs for the best way to config a pccard  
 network card?

In general, you should treat it just like any other interface.  For
wireless cards, the following article is a good summary of new features.
