Network config issue

[Jake Janovetz]

How would the configuration be changed after compile, then?
Are you saying that once you build the application, you're stuck
with that network configuration?  If this is the case, then I
strongly disagree.  It would kinda suck if Red Hat shipped 
Linux with one network configuration.

Same goes with an embedded OS that may go into devices that 
should be reconfigurable.  I must be misunderstanding something,
though.
