Howdy,

The new system for configuring network devices is in the devel grimoire
now. Please try it out, I'm sure there are a few bugs.

The new system is completely backwards compatible so if you're happy
with your existing setup then you won't have to change anything.

There are three new variables:

UP_ON_BOOT - If set to "no" then the device will not be brought up
                automatically during boot. Anything else than "no" is
                considered as an "yes".
MTU - A number specifying the Maximum Transfer Unit. Can be empty.
POINTOPOINT - The address used for point-to-point mode. Can be empty.

The following functions can be created in the config file. None of them
take any arguments.

do_device_up, do_device_down
        Overrides what normally is a call to ifconfig or dhcpcd.

do_route_up, do_route_down
        Allows overriding of default call to the route command.

do_status
        Overrides the default text printed for this device when doing
        "telinit run network status".

on_up, on_down
        Run when device has been successfully been brought up and down
        respectively.
