packages.

+When using the \texttt{'static'} method like in the example, the options \texttt{ipaddr} and
\texttt{netmask} are mandatory, while \texttt{gateway} and \texttt{dns} are optional.
DHCP currently only accepts \texttt{ipaddr} (IP address to request from the server)
and \texttt{hostname} (client hostname identify as) - both are optional.
\item{keepalive} \\
Ping the PPP server (using LCP). The value of this option
specifies the maximum number of failed pings before reconnecting.
- The ping interval defaults to 5, but can be changed by appending

For all protocol types, you can also specify the MTU by using the \texttt{mtu} option.
+\subsubsection{Setting up static routes}
+
+You can set up static routes for a specific interface that will be brought up
+after the interface is configured.
+
+Simply add a config section like this:
+
+\begin{Verbatim}
+config route foo
+ option interface lan
+ option target 1.1.1.0
+ option netmask 255.255.255.0
+ option gateway 192.168.1.1
+\end{Verbatim}
+
+The name for the route section is optional, the \texttt{interface}, \texttt{target} and
+\texttt{gateway} options are mandatory.
+Leaving out the \texttt{netmask} option will turn the route into a host route.
\subsubsection{Setting up the switch (currently broadcom only)}
The switch configuration is set by adding a \texttt{'switch'} config section.
-Example:
+Example:
\begin{Verbatim}
-config switch eth0
- option vlan0 "1 2 3 4 5*"
- option vlan1 "0 5"
+config switch "eth0"
+ option vlan0 "1 2 3 4 5*"
+ option vlan1 "0 5"
\end{Verbatim}
On Broadcom hardware the section name needs to be eth0, as the switch driver
