The stock networking scripts now use iproute2 instead of net-tools and
bridge-utils and friends. All of the previous functionality is still
supported with the same config file syntax in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf,

- IP addresses to virtual and/or real interfaces. This did involve some

- additional IP addresses bound to interfaces using rc.inet1 will be done
- in such a way that /sbin/ifconfig recognizes them.
