Marcel,

	Gentoo is somewhat similar.  It does not have an /etc/network/interface, but 
the interfaces are configure in /etc/init.d and /etc/conf.d.  There you 
create an /etc/init.d/net.bnep0 (which is identical to the net.ethx scripts) 
and put the iface info in /etc/conf.d/net.  You are right that I didn't need 
to touch the net.agent script though.  I never realized it was being called 
until Aben informed me.  I will have to create a '/var/lock/subsys/network' 
lockfile somewhere, but at least bnep0 is being configured automatically now.

Regards

Richard
