I'm not sure if it's a linuxconf bug, or something else, but there appears to be no way to configure wavelan ports (e.g. wvlan0) with Linuxconf. It'd be really cool if the wavelan configuration would automatically crank up using DHCP so that it'd just work, though that's the problem of some other package. It took me a while to get it working. I ended up just renaming an eth0 config file.
