    Follow up info -

    If you look at the network interface line - I have dhcp specified (this
    is a requirement in my environment). This precludes the use of netmask=,
    and will cause an error when the client boots (verified empirically).
    It is not supposed to ask for the netmask. The patch I noted is supposed
    to fix this and it didn't.

    (Note: if I set it up with static routing entries it will work fine. I
    need the dhcp stuff to work as the man page states.)

    TIA
    Brian C.

    A person suggested (just one of many):
    >Try adding "netmask=255.255.255.0" - or whatever - to the
    >"network_interface" line.
    >Oh, and you'll need a "default_route" - or "default_route=NONE" entry
    >on that line, too.
