I had no issues using dhclient,
/etc/rc.d/network comes first (which does the ifconfig.xxx stuft
dhcp client is later. and would ( i belive ) only modify the 
mask/ip-address.

ifconfig.iwi can contain arbritary commands: (mine is:)

    #Set up the iwi0 interface
    !iwictl -i iwi0 -d /etc/firmware
    192.168.0.99 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid HERE nwkey
    2:0x.....,0x.......,0x0.....,0x0...... up

I do see this argument! (it did cost me some time to understand the
