  netstart, if has no args, runs thru the whole hostname/bridgename
  shebang.  you can also pass it a list of interfaces (might not have
  checked, but netstart(8) has a manpage).
  
  for debug stuffs, you could do, say:

$ sudo sh -v /etc/netstart wi0

  little easier to manage and no worries about having to edit
  /etc/netstart.  (sometimes -x is nice instead or addition to/of -v)

  probably not it, but does it matter if you do an 'up' on the first
  line of hostname.wi0 and then the inet line next?
   
  i don't have a candidate wireless system at hand to try the ifconfig
  commandline out on :(
