>Description:
Setting the following in /etc/rc.conf.d/network (instead of /etc/rc.conf)
does not work as /etc/rc.d/dhclient does not load rc config network

	ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP"

It fires up wpa_supplicant but then fails to start dhclient.

As this is an image built with nanobsd, adding this line to ifconfig_ath0 is
not a good alternative as it requires me to have non-default /etc/rc.conf
files. /etc/rc.conf.local is an alternative.
>How-To-Repeat:
Move the ifconfig statement above to /etc/rc.conf.d/network and run

	/etc/rc.d/netif start ath0
	ps ax | grep dhclient

shows no dhclient active.
