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.
and so the fix committed in r1.42 was not quite correct for the case
where there are two or more DHCP consuming removable interfaces - dhclient
must be restarted so that the other interfaces continue to function
correctly.

- If there was an exiting dhclient running on the same interface as the
new iface that left and returned then dhclient would be told to use the
same interface twice. Dhclient would fail and exit after getting
confused. Use "sort -u" on them to ensure no duplicates.
This is a mostly a race condition on suspend and resume and how things
happen to occur.
- Check for netmask being set on an interface rather then up. An interface
can be up but not configured.

Improve the dhcp handling of pccard_ether.
There are now many configurations which have a NIC on board and
cardbus slots too. If a dhclient was already running on the internal
NIC, the user was forced to kill a running dhclient manually.
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
name. After removal, /etc/rc.d/dhclient is started again. This
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
a dhcp client which handles device adding and removal, it will go
away.
dhclient and pccard_ether, introduce the concept of a "settle time" to
pccard_ether with the new pccard_ether_delay variable. Defaults to 5
seconds, which is enough time for the ed driver to finish its
autoconfiguration for newer Linksys based cards. This also can
eliminate the ed0: timeout messages that happen at startup as well.
MFC: after RE says OK.
o Add the removable_interfaces variable for list of removable network
interfaces (PC-card ethernet, wireless network and USB ethernet etc).
o ifconfig_<ifn>_alias0, static_routes_<ifn>, removable_route_flush,
/etc/start_if.<ifn> and /etc/stop_if.<ifn> are support.
o removable_route_flush variable is set to "NO" if you want to use the
machine as gateway using two or more removable network cards. If
static routing is needed use static_routes_<ifn> instead of
static_routes or defaultrouter.
o The optional static_routes_<ifn> variable is likely static_routes.
o /etc/start_if.<ifn> and /etc/stop_if.<ifn> are shell script to be
specified that are called when a card is inserted or removed.

I wasn't dropping the interface correctly, but not noticing because

the 'ifconfig ifN delete' into pccard_ether under the 'stop'
function.
In addition start dhclient with a pid file based on the interface

(or dhcpc) process when the card is removed.
scripts may use to source safely overrides in ${rc_conf_files}

This protects users who insist on the bad practice of copying
/etc/defaults/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf from a recursive loop
that exhausts available file descriptors.
Several people have expressed interest in breaking this function
out into its own shell script. Anyone who wants to embark on
such an undertaking would do well to study the attributed PR.

network interface by attempting to configure it for DHCP (which will
never work, of course). It also would impact any other interface that
may be present that, again, would likely be manually configured for
some other purpose.

I re-wrote alot of this, but the ideas are based on the code from the
most recent pccard-snapshot.
