Reminder: /tmp/net.$netif.* files

Reminder: /tmp/net.$netif.* files

[Warren Togami]

If you write a file to /tmp/net.$netif.* please be sure it only exists 
if that interface ends up as part of the netboot.  The net.* files are 
to be considered post-switch_root by initscripts or NetworkManager.  We 
don't want those tools to be confused by net.* files from aborted 
interfaces that were not part of the netboot.

A tricky part might be ensuring net.* files for constituent interfaces 
part of layered interfaces like bridges or bonds, in addition to net.* 
files for the bridge or bond.

Question: What net.* files would you consider to be necessary for 
initscripts and NetworkManager? I'd assume that would have to be 
dhclient-options and -lease file, an override file containing ip= 
contents and the written ifcfg-files. Anything else?
