Correct, but I meant "reinvent" actually.
There's an enormous API for dealing with the network.
/usr/share/bsdconfig/media/tcpip.subr
Is for acquiring/maintaining active TCP connections
Meanwhile,...
/usr/share/bsdconfig/network/*.subr
Is for configuring permanent network settings that stick after a reboot.

Probably worth a look. It can probably replace bsdinstall's netconfig.
