Done.

My earlier emails indicate that I've gotten the card working.

enp3s0

I now have:

ifconfig.enp3s0
######
ONBOOT=yes
IFACE=enp3s0
SERVICE=ipv4-static
IP=10.0.1.31
GATEWAY=10.0.1.1
PREFIX=24
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
######

The IP address is borrowed from my Fedora installation. Should I change 
".31" to ".XX" so that LFS does not conflict with Fedora? I suppose not, 
since only one will be running at any time.

What are the ins and outs of choosing 8 or 24? How about the BROADCAST 
address? I have no clue why one should choose "10.0.1.255" over 
"192.168.0.255" (picked only because an earlier poster put it in his 
example file). Can you point me to some detailed documentation?
