Looks good!

This is a definite must. Actually, to support multiple interfaces we 
should even go so far and ensure that there is only one interface 
configured at any one time.

--> Consider the following case: Two interfaces and both receive a valid 
default route via dhcp. If we allow both interfaces to be configured 
after receiving the dhcp-reply, the second default-route will go byebye. 
I suggest to move the actual interface (de-)configuration into the 
netroot script.

Philippe
