Well, most of the change looks k°like it could be written as
"s/eth/wlan/g" ... and this way you duplicate starting/stopping the
loopback interface as well as setting the default gateway.

If your goal is to be able to configure interfaces other than eth?
(such as wlan? tr? ath? and such), I myself am using a modified
rc.inet1 and rc.inet1.conf that allow you to define arbitrary
interface names, as many as you want.

Since my modification is not yet accepted by Patrick Volkerding, I
will not copy it to this news group, but you can email me and I'll
mail you the script back.
I will most likely re-write this script again soon, but it works 100%
as it is now.

Cheers, Eric
