I created a shell script, /sbin/ifup (yes, inspired from Linux - but useful)
which reads an /etc/ifconfig.* file and performs the operations. I find it
very useful to do this after editing /etc/ifconfig.*, better than running
sh /etc/rc.d/network restart, if you are remote.. but not screwing with
the interface you are depending upon.

I edited the /etc/rc.d/network script to call /sbin/ifup instead of 
doing things itself - the code is just copied.

I'd like to commit this. Comments?
