Right now the interface name could be arbitrary, so it seems it would 
only depend on the magic to set things up right in %post. Does anyone 
care to take a shot at cleaning up the "post-network-system-config" 
snippet on the Wiki now? We should make it account for mutliple 
interfaces first, add it to %post in the default templates, and then we 
can teach it about bonding once that is established.

(Also regarding my earlier web comments, this interface change may prove 
a reason enough to clean up the webapp in general --- adding 
multi-interface support is going to be hand without making it more ajaxy 
anyway. This might make it a little longer between releases but could 
make for some interesting things. Still evaluating -- I'll chase this 
while everyone is looking at the networking details, we need them both)
