I have a "nettoggle" script at http://www.isi.edu/larse/etc.html that 
tries to reimplement netstart under rc_ng, and also tries to provide the 
corresponding inverse netstop functionality.

The general idea is that "nettogle stop" should get you to a state where 
the location.sh location-detection stuff (on the same page) can reconfig 
things, and a "nettoggle start" then brings the services back up.

The nettoggle stuff is very lightly tested, the loction stuff is quite 
stable. The nettoggle stuff is kinda hackish right now and needs to be 
better aligned with the rest of rc_ng.

(Feedback very welcome.)
