Damn, this dhcpcd thing has more command line options than /bin/ls !  :)

Any chance you can provide some example of how this is setup?  There 
doesn't seem to be any mention in the man page of how to deal with 
interfaces that appear after the program is running.  Also, there 
doesn't seem to be any NEW_INTF "reason" for /libexec/dhcpcd-run-hooks 
either (although there are reasons related to carrier).
