To prevent multiple people trying to push changes to master branch,
please make changes in a user branch, push them, and I'll merge,
-or make a diff and send it to me.

+other features listed below as TODO items.
TODO:
-
-There's plenty of room for refactoring and even rewriting here, such
-as supporting addition of tun/tap devices for adding to bridges or
-using for VPNs, supporting IPv6, etcetera. However, primary focus thus
-far is to simply duplicate existing functionality and make sure it all
-works as expected. Once that's confirmed, we can reassess where to go
-from there.
-
-I've got one host here (no tests run on this host though) that shows
-the loopback interface in state UNKNOWN:
- 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1
- link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
-No idea how common this is, but perhaps a slight change of the loopback
-checking logic is needed...
-
-Tested successfully so far:
- * dhcp configuration of one interface
- * static configuration of one interface
- * bridge with four interfaces (eth0, tap1, tap2, tap3) with static
- IP address; I created the tap interfaces manually in rc.modules.local
- since there's currently no support for creating them in the network
- scripts
+ * create tun/tap interfaces [done]
+ * additional IP addresses to interfaces
+ * IPv6 support
