(oops, accidently sent this reply to freebsd-questions at first)

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I am going to try and do
something with devd.conf first. I'm going through the /etc/rc.d/netif,
/etc/network.subr scripts at the moment so I can get a clear picture of
how exactly FreeBSD (6.0 is what I'm using) sets up interfaces at boot, to
prevent myself from screwing anything up ;)
