yes (actually /etc/conf.d/net - you made a typo- and see net.examples in
the same directory)

if you only need to do it once in order to change the config on the
device then there is no need to put it in the config file, just do it on
the command line as per my original message. If you want to do it on
every boot /etc/conf.d/net is the place.
