Listing e.g. bge0 in network_interfaces will (indirectly) cause if_bge
to be loaded if it wasn't already.  If network_interfaces is left blank,
only interfaces that already have a driver attached to them will be
configured.

That being said, setting network_interfaces manually introduces the risk
of setting it incorrectly (e.g. forgetting lo0).
