Umm, how about extending the ${network_interfaces} functionality as follows.
For each ${network_interfaces} argument,
1. if the value is `auto', add `ifconfig -l' to the list of interfaces
2. for every other argument which is not in the `ifconfig -l' list
(ifconfig -l | grep -wq ${ifn} returns non-zero), but in the
list of cloners (ifconfig -L) creates the corresponding interface.
Cheers,
