+1 I have to agree, that it is a major design flaw to not have static ip settings in any ethernet device, should not have passed alpha trails. So it should not even be a bug for it.
Having said that, the device where this is really bad is the reciever, net::udap is *not* "perfectly adequate" for a consumer device . SSH is that "perfectly adequate" for a consumer device ? maybe for linux and mac users, as you use any terminal for it, for windows user this is not "perfectly adequate" as you have to install third party software to be able to SSH, for example putty . But SSH it's not hard to do and fulfills another glaring omission in the setup menu available in some products. Namely that you can not simply edit the network-settings as you see fit, you have to reset the device and do the setup wizard again !? This is also an obvious design flaw, this is maybe the real problem as static ip is a special case of this. But really it should be an advanced menu option on a squeezeplay product. But as they missed these self evident things in the design phase ,and now they are with us as bugs, it is so that there is probably 100's off other bugs that's needs more attention than this. Why ? a tinkering user can actually fix static ip settings with some workaround , some of the more serious problems can only be fixed by the developers. But I'm all for real static ip support, as the OP wanted to collects such opinions in this tread.
