* try to do dhcp first without asking for a specific DHCP hostname, just ask for
the hostname that will be written to /etc/hosts. If DHCP fails then have a
dialog indicating that some cable modem providers require you to specify a
special DHCP hostname. You can enter that here now if you want.
* Nameserver and domain are in the common configuration? Should they be?
* we should send a dhcp hostname
* put in checks so the user can't enter data that is clearly invalid (perhaps
this will be done through debconf.
* do other sorts of network configurations (pcmcia, ppp)
* pppconfig would be a good starting point for the ppp udeb. There is also an
example in there of how to use pppd to detect a modem.
* Make netcfg-static smarter about default values, e.g. call ifconfig and
parse.
