I think this is already done - I have it on my image and it works for
me.

eth0 on the rygel image seems to come up ok, it's just the mediatomb
image that doesn't afaics.  I'll probably look into this tonight.

I also added a small change in tom/demo that allows the mediatomb image
to do nfs.  After doing that, I was able to mount an nfs share from my
laptop on the Black Sand, and have mediatomb add all the media there.
