I'm not sure I follow. would you rather keep the config_* variable? If so, how do you feel about requiring the syntax of the variable to match the tool you are using? That would mean that the following snippets would not work: modules=3D"iproute2" config_iface=3D"x.x.x.x netmask y.y.y.y broadcast z.z.z.z" # the above is using ifconfig syntax with the iproute2 module modules=3D"ifconfig" config_iface=3D"x.x.x.x/y broadcast z.z.z.z" # This is using iproute2 syntax with the ifconfig module.
