Static requires at least one of ADDR or IPCFG. +ADDR (requires IP of 'static') +: A single IP address to configure a static IP. For example: +GATEWAY (requires IP of 'static') +: Set specified gateway +IPCFG +: Array of arguments to pass to 'ip'. The power of this options is that it allows both simple and complicated routing configurations, within the framework of netcfg. +IFOPTS (deprecated, requires IP of 'static') +: Arguments to pass to 'ifconfig'. This allows you to use the syntax for the older 'ifconfig' tool. Retained for compatability. +### DNS +DNS +: Array of DNS nameservers. Simply specify the IP's of each of the DNS nameservers. +SEARCH +: "search" line for /etc/resolv.conf +DOMAIN +: "domain" line for /etc/resolv.conf +HOSTNAME +: Set the system hostname. Ensure any hostname is correctly referenced in /etc/hosts. +DNS1, DNS2 (deprecated) +: First and second DNS servers for /etc/resolv.conf +### DHCP +DHCP_OPTIONS +: String. Any extra arguments to pass to the dhcp client, presently dhcpcd. +DHCP_TIMEOUT +: Integer. Maximum time to try for a DHCP IP. Default is 10 seconds. +DHCLIENT +: yes/no. Use dhclient instead of dhcpcd. Defaults to no +### 802.11x Authentication +AUTH8021X +: Use 802.11x authentication.
