modified to break out of loop on said generated file,
to not triply indent loop, please check.


I also have two related questions:

A) you mention a bug of ipconfig, that it exists with wrong message
   or such, could you please be more explicit on that.
   also please try out klibc-1.5.17 it both reached Ubuntu lucid
   and Debian unstable, has several ipconfig fixes.

B) as you seem heavy user of configure_networking()
   could you please review #, I lack the testing ability:
   http://bugs.debian.org/566295
 

thanks + kind regards
