[yocto] Configuring static/dhcp IP at boot time

[Chris Tapp]

I'm trying to get an image to optionally use a static IP when it boots (i.e. static or dhcp depending on kernel command line parameters).

When a static allocation is being used, a script within the init of an initramfs edits /etc/network/interface to add a static entry for eth0 and to add an 'up' command to set the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf (in the final rootfs) before switch_root is called.

Is there a better way to do this (I'm sure there is!)?
