more wlans_<ifn> and create_args_<ifn>
Add documentation for these variants and generally update the wireless
device example.
There is are very short lived shim from vaps_<ifn> which produces
a warning and vap_create_<ifn> which does not. Misuse the MFC
notification service to remind me to remove them.

wpa_supplicant expects that it has exclusive access to the net80211 state so
when its starts poking in the WEP/WPA settings and the card is already
scanning it can cause net80211 to try and associate incorrectly with a
protected AP.
This is an inconvenience for firmware based cards such as iwi where it can be
sent an auth instruction with incomplete security info and cause a firmware
error.
Remove the 'ifconfig up' from network.subr since wpa_supplicant will
immediately down the interface again.

All xxx_<ifname> flags are set to empty strings automatically earlier so
eval echo \${${prefix}${_if}${suffix}-${_default}}
not substitute the default but return just the empty string.
Fix it using
eval echo \${${prefix}${_if}${suffix}:-${_default}}
(i.e. treat empty strings as unset)
The bug manifistates itself with the following warning from checkyesno():
/etc/rc.d/dhclient: WARNING: $background_dhclient is not set properly -
see rc.conf(5)
Note: This also deprecates "NO" as a way to specify an empty list of

interface is an IPv6 interface.
Use this method to decide if we should attempt to configure an interface
with an IPv6 address in pccard_ether. The mechanism pccard_ether uses
to do this is unsuited to the task because it assumes the list of
interfaces it is passed is the full list of IPv6 interfaces and makes
decissions based on that. This is at least a step in the right
direction and is probably about as much as we can MFC safely.

1) Make it possible to configure interfaces with certain characters in
their names that aren't valid in shell variables. Currently supported
characters are ".-/+". They are converted into '_' characters.
2) Replace nearly all eval statements in network.subr with a new
function get_if_var which substitues an interface name (after the
translations above) for "IF" in a variable name.
3) Fix list_net_interfaces() in the nodhcp case.
4) Allow the administrator to specify if dhclient should be started
when /etc/rc.d/netif configures the interface or only by devd.
This can be set on both a per interface and system wide basis.

- If an interface's ifconfig_<ifn> is set, but empty, don't set it to

- Add a new ifconfig_<ifn> keyword, NOAUTO which prevents configuration
of an interface at boot or via /etc/pccard_ether. This allows
/etc/rc.d/netif to be used to start and stop an interface on a purely
manual basis. The decision to affect pccard_ether may be revisited at
a later date.

applies to all interfaces that do not specify an ifconfig_<ifn>
variable rather than just those listed in removable_interfaces.
- Correct the list of interfaces when network_interfaces and
removable_interfaces are both set by including removable_interfaces
in the list of canidates.
- When listing dhcp interfaces, include those with other ifconfig

way interfaces are configured. Some key points:
- At startup, all interfaces are configured through /etc/rc.d/netif.
- ifconfig_<if> variables my now mix real ifconfig commands the with
DHCP and WPA directives. For example, this allows media
configuration prior to running dhclient.
- /etc/rc.d/dhclient is not run at startup except by netif to start
dhclient on specific interfaces.
- /etc/pccard_ether calls "/etc/rc.d/netif start <if>" to do most of
it's work.
- /etc/pccard_ether no longer takes additional arguments to pass to
ifconfig. Instead, ifconfig_<if> variables are now honored in favor
of pccard_ifconfig when available.
- /etc/pccard_ether will only run on interfaces specified in
removable_interfaces, even if pccard_ifconfig is set.
ifnet_rename() to support situations where rc.conf's $network_interfaces
variable is set to an explicit list of network interfaces (instead of
the default "auto").
Using "list_network_interfaces all" resulted in using
$network_interfaces for both interface _renaming_ and interface
_configuration_ which obviously cannot work either before (if the
new name is in $network_interfaces) or after (if the old name is in
$network_interfaces) renaming the interface.
from list_net_interfaces() when network_interfaces=auto.
Rationale: Since the auto case is special, the lesser evil
had to be chosen among not adding cloned interfaces to
_tmplist or removing duplicates from _tmplist after adding
cloned interfaces. Since list_net_interfaces() must not use
/usr/bin tools, the former "evil" appeared clearer and much
more efficient. (See the PR audit trail for discussion.)

There are now many configurations which have a NIC on board and

If now a pccard is included at startup time, /etc/rc.d/dhclient
start does include it into the startup list for dhcp devices.
That means you can now do dhcp on the internal and the pccard devices
at the same time. If the card is plugged in later, a running dhclient
(working for the internal interface only) is killed, and restarted,
but the interface name of the new pccard is added to the internal

script does nothing if there are no devices in /etc/rc.conf
This is only a workaround for a well known problem. After we have
