I agree that, in general, when you need changed resolv.conf, and arbitrary other files it may make sense. But you still need other changes; either modifying pccard_ether with hacks or replacing it, replacing rc.conf, etc. And it really doesn't make sense to completely replace either of those just for one or two settings. I don't see anywhere that I can completely replace a file to change the IP address and default route without also having a lot more baggage around.
