I haven't tried it of course, but it looks from the man page like
dhcpcd will try to configure all interfaces if no interface is
specified.  It would be a great help if you could confirm this.

I'm mainly worried that we won't know how interfaces are named,
although the old code assumed eth0 and appeared to work until now.
