You're right, that makes > perfect sense, I'll see to it. BTW, full DHCP coming real soon... When DHCP will be added will you re-evaluate the way you bring interfaces up. Its currently a bit messy if you want to pass your own addresses in the bootp record. The function build_bootp_record() is not exported either. Also when you added loopback devices i was not configuring them since you added init_loopback_interface() to init_all_network_interfaces() which did't need to call when using dynamic addresses. Andrew
