>Description:
/etc/pccard_ether requires variables set in /etc/rc.conf.  As it is possible and reasonable to run /etc/pccard_ether from the user command-line and other environments where /etc/rc.conf hasn't been sourced, pccard_ether should source /etc/rc.conf itself to avoid inappropriate failures.
>How-To-Repeat:
As a user, run /etc/pccard_ether.  It will fail silently if removable_interfaces isn't in the environment.  It will fail in other, possibly more interesting ways if removable_interfaces is defined but other required variables are not.
