I don't think it's a Linux/BSD issue. This line won't work in sh if
NETWORKING is unset. Then you get (after parameter expansion)
[ = "no" ] && exit 0
which fails the syntax check.
I suspect "NETWORKING" always happened to be set in the Linux
environment you were running it under, or perhaps you were using a
different shell.

One time-honored idiom is:
[ "X${NETWORKING}" = "Xno" ] && exit 0
or you can just make sure that NETWORKING always gets set to some
value.
