+This performs the basic network stack initialization with a loopback interface.
+Further initialization must be done using the standard BSD network
+configuration commands
+http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ifconfig&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html[IFCONFIG(8)]
+using `rtems_bsd_command_ifconfig()` and
+http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=route&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html[ROUTE(8)]
+using `rtems_bsd_command_route()`.  For an example please have a look at
+`testsuite/include/rtems/bsd/test/default-network-init.h`.
