 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.
