Re: Network parameter initialization on TINI

Well, I suppose I could have my configuring machine run a
private DHCP server that would respond only to requests
from the TINI being configured. Have the TINI requesting
DHCP, so it would get configured as desired from my private
server. Once configured, kill the TINI's DHCP client and reset
its DHCPServerIP, so that its settings are effectively static.
