[OpenIndiana-discuss] [b 147] Consensus on how to set up static IP

[DerSaidin]

Hello,

See: http://blogs.sun.com/PlasticPixel/entry/nwam_static_ip_address_for

The other files you'll want to check (I'm unsure if these are essential)
when setting up a NIC are:
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/defaultrouter

NWAM does static IP nicely, just not all settings are entirely accessible by
GUI (imo config files are simpler/nicer anyway).
