Network interfaces on startup

Here's a question about a difference between DFly and FBSD.

Right now, I have in my FBSD rc.conf

network_interfaces="lo0"
ifconfig_wi0="dhcp"
ifconfig_ed1="dhcp"

Whether I plug into the LAN at work, or wireless at home, FBSD finds the
correct device and runs dhclient on it.

This does not seem to work the same with DFly.  I currently have 

#network_interfaces="lo0 ed1"
#network_interfaces="lo0 wi0"

and I uncomment the one for the interface I am using.  It's a pain, but it
works.  If I use the above setting from FBSD, or a line containing all 3
interfaces, whichever interface is found does not get configured with
dhclient.
