The current devd is smart enough.  Devd's config file might use some
additional tweaking.

: Currently, if bge0 (my permanent interface) has link at boot, it gets
: dhclient.  Similarly to the origional poster, if wi0 is inserted at
: boot, it gets dhclient.

Don't blame devd for dhclient being brain dead.  Fix the brain damage
in dhclient, don't use devd to work around that brain damage.

: devd doesn't seem to do much else.

Devd does anything you want it to do.
