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.
* Put quotes around each line
* Single quotes for lines with no variable interpolation
* Double quotes if there is
* Capitalize each word that begins a line
* Make echo -n 'Doing foo:' ... echo '.' more of a standard
No functionality changes
I wasn't dropping the interface correctly, but not noticing because
the interface was going away when the card was ejected.

the 'ifconfig ifN delete' into pccard_ether under the 'stop'
function.
In addition start dhclient with a pid file based on the interface
name, e.g. /var/run/dhclient.ep0.pid, and kill the correct dhclient
(or dhcpc) process when the card is removed.
scripts may use to source safely overrides in ${rc_conf_files}
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.

interface on the dhclient command line. Not doing so screws up vmware's
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.

case instead of test where appropriate, since case allows case is a sh
builtin and (as a side-effect) allows case-insensitivity.

* All variables are now embraced: ${foo}
* All comparisons against some value now take the form:
[ "${foo}" ? "value" ]
where ? is a comparison operator
* All empty string tests now take the form:
[ -z "${foo}" ]
* All non-empty string tests now take the form:
[ -n "${foo}" ]

I prefer wide-dhcp, and since both are packages, it should get
equal billing.

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