192.168.0.32 is what's in the manual for the DNS-323. I'm torn between
having a "Debian default" and sticking with the device's default. The
former means we can give users a default in the docs, but since the device
will have something hard-coded most of the time, it'll default to that
instead so we'll *still* need to tell users to check their manual. As a
result, I think that defaulting to the device's default IP is the correct
choice.
