>Description:
	ray0 interface fails to come up without repeated ifconfig up/down
	toggles.

>How-To-Repeat:
	put the following two lines in /etc/ifconfig.ray0

	nwid my_network_name
	inet 192.168.197.1 link0

	After the ifconfig notice that the ray0 interface is still marked
	as down.
	
	It does eventually come up if one lays on the ^C key to
	interrupt the boot process and one does an 'ifconfig ray0 up'
	by hand.  (At this point many of the network daemons have been
	killed, so the system is mostly hosed.)

	Observed on a sony-505tx

	workaround: dhclient seems to cycle over the ifconfig enough
	to shake things loose.  It is only the static config that give 
	problems.
