Hi Mike--

I use a start_if.* script to configure some settings (such as SSID, WEP
keys, etc.) for my wireless cards, which subsequently get their
addresses via DHCP (ifconfig.*="DHCP").  This has worked wonderfully for
quite awhile.

After updating with this change, it looks like my start_if.* scripts
never gets called.  It looks like /etc/rc.d/netif only runs these
scripts for non-DHCP interfaces. Moreover there doesn't appear to be
anywhere *else* that invokes the start_if.* scripts either.

What about making dhclient_prestart() do something like this:

	for ifn in ${dhcp_list}; do
		ifscript_up${ifn}
	done

(This works for me, BTW.)

Or am I misunderstanding what start_if.* is used for?

Thanks!

Bruce.
