You're missing the point. As it currently stands with Yast, I have to
find the MAC for the computer by some means, then copy it into
dhcpd.conf, along with that other info. On systems such as that router
at work, I simply located the computer MAC address or currently assigned
IP in a list, and configure it for a specific IP address and I'm done.
