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

[Daniel Kvasnička]

Second, it just doesn't seem right to me to have to have GUI to get static IP working (even though it might be a problem outside of the system). Don't get me wrong -- I'm a Mac guy, I know how much difference does a good GUI make. But I just wanted to be able to have a text-only OI install and know how to get things going. Self-study :)
