.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBnetcfg\fP is used to configure and manage network connections via profiles. It has pluggable support for a range of connection types, such as wireless, ethernet. ppp. It is also capable of starting/stopping many to one connections, that is, multiple connections within the same profile, optionally with bonding. 

It may be run at boot, by enabling the \fI/etc/rc.d/net-profiles\fP daemon in \fI/etc/rc.conf\fP \fBDAEMONS\fP line. After boot time, it may be used to start profiles, simply by passing only the profile name.
