ok, I've gone back to the beginning.  When all scripts are untouched,
this is the error I get when starting any /etc/init.d/net.* script:

iwconfig: missing required function interface_variable

This error comes from /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/iwconfig  so in there
I add the line

source /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/helpers.d/functions

and all these script errors go away.  However, net.etho thinks it wants
to start with dhcp now

 * Starting eth0
 *    Bringing up eth0
 *       Configuration not set for eth0 - assuming dhcp
 *       eth0 dhcp
 *          Keeping kernel configuration for eth0
 *    Adding routes
 *       default gw 172.16.0.4 ...                                        [ !! ]
 *       203.39.28.126 gw 172.16.0.7 ...                                  [ ok ]
 *       147.66.40.208 gw 172.16.0.7 ...                                  [ ok ]

even though /etc/conf.d/net has the correct static configuration info in
it.

Any clues?
