And please forgive some of the rest of use for not thinking to suggest
it earlier because at some point network_interfaces became un-needed.
Well, at least not if you set it to "auto" as it is in 
/etc/defaults/rc.conf

So, if you have an interface you don't want configured at boot then you 
need to list all but that interface in "network_interfaces". Otherwise 
don't list that line at all and let the default of "auto" generate a 
list using "ifconfig -l". Search /etc/rc.network for network_interfaces 
and you'll see what I mean.
