you can probably look at the scripts used in picobsd (in the
source tree) and you will also find in the images at
http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ip_dummynet/
http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/pgm.html
(probably second one is more featureful).
The idea is that the rc.network scripts try to match the MAC address
of the first card found with a database of ethernet cards in /etc/hosts,
getting a hostname and then assigning a machine identity, and from
there rc.conf.local and rc.firewall have a switch() to decide
what to do and all the rest.
