If you look at the file, you'll see it consists of nothing other than the definition of a number of functions called such things as 'network_pass1()'. Nothing interesting will actually happen until those functions are called, which is usually done by the /etc/rc script and there the function calls are interspersed with all the many other commands required to bring up the system.
