Well, I've been bitten by this, too, a few months ago. But when
implementing a PPP connection one is following the logs anyway.
And after seeing the "no carrier" message I decided for a simple
solution like
network_interfaces="lo0 rl0 rl1"
ifconfig_rl1="up"
which made the connection work flawlessly.
If this change to bring the interface up magically won't be MFCed
maybe there should be something in the doc to state that even if
you don't configure ("ifconfig(8) inet ...") the interface you
should "ifconfig ... up" it.
