Unless you were setting the network_interfaces variable manually
(a deprecated configuration), I'd be pretty surprised if this were
the case.  The rc system has not way of knowing what ifconfig_<ifn>
variables are set so it wouldn't call ifconfig and trigger an autoload.
I'm willing to be proved wrong, but I don't think I am...
