The cable modem connects via 10baseT ethernet. However, they do not offer static IP addresses. Question: is it possible to configure an ethernet card to use a server-assigned IP address? "Man ifconfig" doesn't mention this topic at all. BTW, I'm running 2.2.7-RELEASE and my current card uses the ed device. I'd need a second card if I were to do this.
