I guess I wasn't clear. My IP addresses aren't hard-wired in
the source code. They're retrieved from flash. The change I'm
thinking of making is instead of taking those addresses and
building a bootp frame to pass to init_net(), I'll just make
the ioctl() calls. That eliminates the need for the routines
to build/parse bootp records, and the network initialization
happens where it's obvious what's going on.

Same here.
