Recently i got really confused after removing a 'join <ID> ... ' line
from /etc/hostname.iwn0, then running `sh /etc/netstart`. This resulted
in reconnection to <ID>, even though <ID> was now not mentioned
anywhere in /etc/hostname.iwn0.

Even `ifconfig iwn0 down up` did not change this behaviour.

It turned out that i needed to do `ifconfig iwn0 down -joinlist up` to remove
all networks from the join list, as described in ifconfig(8). [I'm not
actually sure that the `down` and `up` are necessary.]

Would it be possible and make sense to have /etc/netstart do this
automatically for wireless interfaces? Or am i misunderstanding what
/etc/netstart is for?

Thanks for any help,

- Jules
