Good; I have a limited way of testing it now so it is nice to know it
has worked fine to you.

I've added it but I can't test it right now. Please see if it works for you.

I've fixed/added them all.

Yes; it should work fine. The script writes the content to the file
netcfg expects. I couldn't test it as well but ought to work fine.

I think it is not worth. syslog now has the gotten IP each time it
runs so is easy to spot if it has been run twice.
