Re: [gentoo-dev] Network configuration and bash

[Mike Auty]

Or perhaps,
	Something a little more explicit might work?  In instances such as the 
ifconfig lines, it's to create eth0 aliases (such as eth0:0), so perhaps 
that could look like:

ifconfig_eth0:0 = "10.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_eth0:1 = "10.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"

	For uses that really do require a list (such as modules), something like:

modules = "wpa_supplicant", "ifconfig"

or redefinition:

modules = "wpa_supplicant"
modules = "ifconfig"

might work?  If the comma separated syntax is acceptable, it may be that 
brackets around it are acceptable too, in which case the bash syntax is 
fine.
	If the normal shells will still require *some* form of processing to 
deal with the list, could they not be given processing to deal with 
lists that bash already has builtin?
