Well that's just too simple and obvious. I put a sysctl command in a
preup() function in conf.d/net, and that worked, but it's definitly
the wrong way to do it.
After putting the above line in sysctl.conf (and removing my preup()
function), everything worked as expected except that I had to manually
start the interface with the command "/etc/init.d/net.eth2 start".
Google told me to fix that by using rc-update to add net.eth2 to the
default runlevel.
Everything's tickety-boo now, but I don't remember have to do that
last step in the past when I added a network interface -- all I had to
do was create the symlink from net.<whatever> to net.lo.
Is the rc-update runlevel stuff new?
