I've taken the advice to look at netatm atm_nif_detach routine.  It
appears that all that is needed from the initial hack is to add the
route table walking.  In testing the fix I found that I could remove
the card and then ping or telnet another machine.  This always used to
crash the machine, and now I get a hostname lookup failure (properly
since there is no interface to send to the packets out).

The patches that Andrew Gallatin fixed were already in the previous
kludge that I committed earlier.  I did add a splnet/splx to if_detach
which should help some race conditions.

Please let me know what you think about sys/net/if.c version 1.81.  I
added the route deletion code from atm_nif_detach and
atm_netif_rtdel.

Longer term there needs to be some cleanup in this area, since the
inet4 specific code in if_detach.  I'm moving on to other pccard
things, but will try to revisit this in the fullness of time.
