The network driver added an interface to the "opened" list when it was
configured, not when it was brought up, and removed it when it was taken
down.  A sequence of ifconfig up, ifconfig down, ... caused it to be removed
multiple times from the list without being added in between, resulting in
a crash.  This patch moves the add to when the interface is brought up.
