[OpenIndiana-discuss] Cannot get static IP network setup to work

[Matt Wilby]

Rather than using ipadm, you can also do it the old fashioned way by creating /etc/hostname.<interface> and inserting the required hostname from /etc/hosts.

Where hostname can be something like bge0, e1000g0, eri0, hme0 etc.
