yes it does allow multiple ifs. it creates multihomed wifi sta setup where hell
knows where the routes go and dns config comes from. i'm not aware of
priorities there
main intent was sta, one sta with unknown driver, where whoever who configures
that does that knowingly. alternative would be extra option to limit it to
first one found
this would also allow headless aps i guess but i haven't tested it yet

i thought about it a while and ifconfig_DEFAULT is a great way to shoot
yourself into foot i guess

maybe there could be limits by interface types

but at some point, you would need to manually verify your network setup so it
does what you want without strange configs automa[gt]ically happening

previously i had patch for previous wifi where interfaces appeared as "actual"
ifs, but that's not in any supported fbsd now

in any way, i can't figure it out by myself, hence i shared that even without
docs

why it is not being done yet, no idea, either noone wanted or it sits in
private repo

it does override all manual config with wlan_autoconfig="YES" but maybe that's
ok

i'll let others decide on improvements to this now
