>Description:
postfix on startup checks for its own inet-address(es). On my machine it 
wouldn't find the (active) ath0, maybe because there's an inactive wm0, too. 
Complaint at system startup, or even later after wpa_supplicant and dhclient 
helped ath0 come online, are simply:

postfix: fatal: could not find any active network interfaces

But look:

# ifconfig -a
wm0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        
capabilities=7ff80<TSO4,IP4CSUM_Rx,IP4CSUM_Tx,TCP4CSUM_Rx,TCP4CSUM_Tx,UDP4CSUM_Rx,UDP4CSUM_Tx,TCP6CSUM_Rx,TCP6CSUM_Tx,UDP6CSUM_Rx,UDP6CSUM_Tx,TSO6>
        enabled=0
        address: somemac
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ssid SOME nwkey yeahsuremykeystandshere
        powersave off
        bssid somebssid chan 1
        address: somemac
        media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (OFDM54 mode 11g)
        status: active
        inet 192.168.1.12 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33192
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

I mean I'm writing this via that ath0, it surely is active.
>How-To-Repeat:
Not sure exactly. On my machine, start postfix with wm0 inactive and ath0 
active. Maybe it's enough to have > 1 network if on the machine and simply 
configure the second+ while leaving the 1st offline ?
>Fix:
Find postfix developers and give them more beer.
