>Description:
It is not possible to overide showstat_$ifn from /etc/start_$ifn.
>How-To-Repeat:
I need to setup variable number of gre(4) interfaces at startup.
I've a script that has its own configuration for this job.
So I write in /etc/rc.conf:
network_interfaces="de0 lo0 gre"
And I create script /etc/start_gre that configures tunnels.
The script shows their status itself using ifconfig.
I'm trying to prevent /etc/rc.network from showing state of
nonexistent interface 'gre' by specifying showstat_gre=''
in my script but that does not work because /etc/rc.network
overrides showstat_gre _after_ invocation of /etc/start_gre.
>Fix:
Apply this patch to /etc/rc.network so that it will
set showstat_$ifn _before_ invocation of /etc/start_$ifn
allowing variable showstat_$ifn be redefined there.
