>Description:
In our configuration system we use /etc/rc.conf.d/ files extensively (instead of sticking everything into /etc/rc.conf and rc.conf.local).

But pccard_ether does not take /etc/rc.conf.d/network into account when deciding whether an interface is NOAUTO or not.
>How-To-Repeat:
Define a wlan interface in /etc/rc.conf.d/network

wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP NOAUTO"

Execute

/etc/rc.conf.d/pccard_ether wlan0 restart

and notice that it will configure the interface.

Add

. /etc/rc.conf.d/network

to /etc/rc.conf.d/pccard_ether and execute the command above again. Notice that the interface is no longer configured.
