small config(1) change and additions

Hi folks,

I've just committed a change to config(1) that might have side effects
on your configuration files if you use tricks that were previously
allowed by config(1) (whether you're aware of it).  Orphaned devices
are now ignored (though config(1) still warns), which means the kernel
will compile as if the device instance were never mentioned.  This
might lead to surprises when booting the kernel, although previous
behaviour of config(1) lead to obscure linking errors.  So watch for
orphans.

However, referencing by number (in an attachment) a device that doesn't
have a matching instance but has a starred instance won't be considered
orphaning anymore.

As for the other commit, it adds two statements to the grammar:

   no device at <attachment>
   no <device>

Please see the commit log for details on how to use it.

As always, if you have any trouble with those new features, fill a PR.
I plan to add regression tests for config(1) at some point, and maybe
someday I'll have time to write a man page describing the syntax...

Seconded.

Including patch. :)

Re: ath driver and wep

I made the following change (locally, not committed) yet to
sys/dev/ic/ath.c to write wep keys to the hardware on power up.  This
intends to fix the problem of wep keys being set while the power is
off (ifconfig nwkey before ifconfig up), or lost during ifconfig
down/up.  I tested on one machine and an ifconfig down/up resulted in
a working configuration where previously it did not (and I received a
report from someone else who had the same problem).

I'm using a single 40-bit WEP key.

I'm hesitant to commit it because I don't fully understand how this is
supposed to be handled and I suspect it doesn't handle non-wep keys
correctly.

This is in ath_mode_init; line numbers are likely off since I have a
lot of local changes.

It looked to be a very simple change; the time-printing is isolated to 
a separate file pr_time.c.  My original thought was an enviornment
variable W_TIMEFORMAT that would hold a strftime string, but in fact 
there are three separate cases in the code.

The real fix is to add localization code to it.

Solaris 8+ has support for locales. See man strftime(3C). However, it does
appear that the "w" command is not localized. Sorry about that:
