In trying to get my WaveLAN card to work, I found I needed to change a default
config with wicontrol prior to configuring the interface. I wanted to do this
at bootup so I hacked /etc/pccard_ether to read a variable,
pccard_preconfig_wi0, out of rc.conf, to run the "preconfig" command prior to
attempting dhclient. This struck me as the "right" way and I thought I'd send
my diff in so that something like this could be considered for commit in to
the source tree.
