It is possible to set some preseeding values as kernel parameters in the
parmfile and then point to a preseed URL, which means you could
configure the network interface via parmfile and specify the remaining
values in your remote preseed file. I have only done partial preseeding
so far, though, so I don't know how far you can get.
