The interface comes up specificaly because you set anything in the ifconfig_iwi0 variable. That should be the case in 6.2 as well. The code that executed the "ifconfig iwi0 $ifconfig_iwi0"[0] bit first does "ifconfig iwi0 up". -- Brooks [0] Actually not quite since we have magic keywords like DHCP, WPA, and NOAUTO now and those get removed.
