I'd like to have 3 possible network modes: dhcp, zeroconf, or static IP 
and want to switch between them on-the-fly.  It looks like the non-dhcp 
modes can be done using a script or 2 in /etc/udhcpc.d, so it seems 
having udhcpcd running in the background would facilitate this.  Does 
that sound right?
