Subject: Patch to allow local net startup.

Attached is a patch which looks for "/etc/hotplug/net-local", and uses
that in preference to "ifup" or other distro-specific configs to bring
the interface up. I added this to a local copy because it seems to be
the only way I can get my own script to run for bringing up a hotplug
wireless interface. Unfortunately, just listing some iwconfig arguments
isn't really that useful for the mobile user, I have a script that
configures itself differently depending on where it detects I am.
Some sort of mechanism for allowing users to wedge into the
initialization is really needed.
