Probably listed in the /var/lib/lrpkg/*.conf files twice; will look at
it.... unless.....
The /etc/network.conf file is in two places: /etc/network.conf, and
/etc/rc.config.d/network - perhaps that did it.

I think I've fixed that in the most recent development version; will
have to look at it.

No. Time for another fix...

That's standard behavior for the older versions; the newest versions
should be fixed.

I've made /etc/init.d/network more robust; will have to send it out
soon. These notes are okay:
error: 'kernel.sysreq' is an unknown key
DHCP not requested
...the first hints at support for a kernel hack allowing you to do some
really interesting stuff (not in most kernels) and the latter means you
are using fixed IP addresses.
