devd seems to be much more active in FreeBSD 10.0

Everyone:
I'm makinga server that makes and breaks a lot of connections using
mpd. Unlike earlier versions of FreeBSD, 10.0 seems to react to
every new link (which involves bringing up an "ng"
pseudo-interface) by running the pccard_ether script. It also seems
to try running dhclient on interfaces that don't use DHCP. I've
never seen it this busy before, and all of this activity is for
naught; the machine doesn't use DHCP and mpd manages all the
logistics of bringing up an "ng" interface itself. Why the change
and all of the useless activity?
