  Modified files:
    sbin/ifconfig        ifconfig.c 
  Log:
  If we don't appear to have a module loaded supporting the interface
  we're about to operate on, try to load one.  Don't complain if the
  load fails, and always press on regardless (there may not be a module
  suitable or required).
  
  With the renaming of the PCI ethernet driver modules and the addition
  of appropriate miibus dependancies on those modules that need it, it is
  now no longer necessary to compile many ethernet drivers into the kernel;
  they will be loaded on demand the first time they are ifconfig'ed.
