Yes, ipappend is enticing for that reason; however HPA's stated
preference is ipappend is not used.

do you know why?  it seems perverse to force an unnecessary dhcp.
other than somehow preserving the information from the bios,
or reading and decoding the NIC state (neither sounds practical),
I think ipappend is a good and clean solution.
