How long has "ether" been mandatory?  According to the latest NOTES,
it's still only required if either an ethernet or token-ring device
is enabled.  Whilst this would cover the majority of configurations,
I have had FreeBSD systems that didn't have any ethernet devices
(only PPP over serial) and therefore didn't need ether.
