Hello
The variables in etc/defaults/rc.conf are not meant to be documented
there only have a brief description so a user can have some idea what
the variable does. The documentation of the variables are in the man
page rc.conf(5) which says the following about pccard_ifconfig :
pccard_ifconfig
(str) List of arguments to be passed to ifconfig(8) at boot
time or on insertion of the card (e.g. ``inet 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0'' for a fixed address or ``DHCP'' fo=
r a
DHCP client).
I think is sufficient documentation and see no reason to change the
description in defaults/rc.conf since it is descriptive of the variable.
Therefor I think this PR should be closed.
Thanks for the submission, I just don't think the proposed change is
needed.
