emerge --info ? etc-update ? What if you put `type if` and `type [` in the 
beginning of the preup function? Does `/etc/init.d/net.ath0 --debug start` 
reveal anything? `equery check bash` ? ... :)

As a side note '[[ ${IFACE} == ath0 ]]' or '[ ath0 = "${IFACE}" ]' would both 
be better syntactically.. In practice that shouldn't matter though as 
runscript.sh does require bash and IFACE should never be empty... It also 
isn't what those error messages are complaining about.

Also as a comment to Mick's suggestion. While IFACE is before preup() is 
called I don't think it gets exported..
