Currently /etc/netstart evaluates /etc/start_if.<foo> if the file exists,
and THEN does any standard ifconfig commands if defined.
This seems very backwards and broken to me. Here's my justification:
Basic stuff can be done by executing the commands in sysconfig, just like
we always do. /etc/start_if.<foo> is for additional stuff or exceptions,
such as configuring aliases.
It makes sense to set up the interface, first, and then get fancy with it.
Here's the change, 24 hours to comment:
