1) There was a bug which limited the total number of network interfaces
to 16 (an array dimensioned to 16 elements). I'm not sure if/when the
fix was MFC'd. (I can't find the relevant commit off-hand).

These two lines can be combined.
2) You need to do an "ifconfig xl1 up" first. You don't need to
specify an IP address/netmask/etc, but can/should specify physical
characteristics (10/100, half/full duplex etc).
