Oops, yes, it does appear that way.  I was installing  different version
of different OSes, but IIRC, one version of NetBSD resulted in an active
network, and another did not.  I'll have to go back and retests.  It's
possible i'm confusing FreeBSD and NetBSD in my recollection.

No, i think my observation was based on whether or not i was able to
configure the interface during installation.

 I'll try and make time to check today (it's my work desktop, so i have to
shutdown and go through the CD-ROMs i burned).
