>Description:
rc.network supports starting only one ppp instance. If
any additional instances are required, they must be started
manually or from rc.d . This patch fixes this.
It introduces a new rc.conf variable ppp_profiles, which
defaults to $ppp_profile to keep backwards compatibility,
and uses variables which follow the pattern
ppp_${profile}_mode (profile-specific $ppp_mode, defaults to
$ppp_mode) and ppp_${profile}_args (supports additional
command-line arguments such as -unitX, defaults to empty).
The patch applies cleanly against -STABLE as of five minutes ago.
