I'm looking at your patches and they seem mostly straight forward.
* How did you intend to set ip_local_mask, ip_local_gate (assuming
that one is not using DHCP)?
* Is the DHCP mode always used, or can it be selected/configured?
* The test for a broadcast address in __ip_send seems to be hard
coded for Class-C addresses.
Once I understand these questions, I'll probably merge these changes,
along with some additional configury.
