Yes, that's true. If you prefer to leave that statement there, go ahead.

I would make NETIF_FIND_DRIVER like NUM_NETIFS, ie. there's no statement
setting a default value for it. And I would move the comment describing
its purpose above this new part:

BTW, '! -z' can be removed from that test. It's equivalent to:
if [[ $NETIF_FIND_DRIVER ]]; then
