rc.wireless is called early during startup.  If you create a script with
that name you don't have to modify rc.inet1.  Example script:

#!/bin/sh

case "$2" in
'start')
        case "$1" in
        eth0)
                # Add IPv6 address and default route:
                /sbin/ip addr add XXX dev eth0
                /sbin/ip route add default via XXX dev eth0
                ;;
        esac
        ;;
'stop')
        case "$1" in
        eth0)
                # Remove IPv6 address and default route:
                /sbin/ip route del default via XXX dev eth0
                /sbin/ip addr del XXX dev eth0
                ;;
        esac
        ;;
esac
