 I don't think this will always be what we want.  On my system, I get:

 {{{
 lo
 wifi0
 ath0
 }}}

 In this case, I don't want to make any direct changes to wifi0, but I do
 use ath0.  This is a characteristic of madwifi cards because both
 interfaces are for one wireless network card.  OTOH, it probably doesn't
 make any difference for shutdown.
