It doesn't work. That is if I edit ifstate to set eth0=eth0 and restart
networking it reports the network is reconfigured but the network is
still unreachable (I tried pinging another computer on the lan) and
ifconfig shows the settings of eth0 are unchanged, are still the
settings from bootup during which the system looked for a DHCP
connection and found none.
