David van Moolenbroek 9a8b4f5601 netconf(8): rewrite
When possible, network drivers are now started automatically.  That
means that netconf(8)'s network driver selection has become obsolete.
This patch changes netconf(8) to allow the user to specify a network
configuration (currently one of DHCP IPv4+IPv6, DHCP IPv4-only,
manual IPv4-only) for any hardware network interfaces that are
currently present.

Selection of network drivers that require manual configuration first
(mainly old ISA cards) is still supported, but now as a special case.
