Correct, but I meant "reinvent" actually.

There's an enormous API for dealing with the network.

/usr/share/bsdconfig/media/tcpip.subr

Is for acquiring/maintaining active TCP connections
Meanwhile,...

/usr/share/bsdconfig/network/*.subr

Is for configuring permanent network settings that stick after a reboot.

Probably worth a look. It can probably replace bsdinstall's netconfig.
