Pretty disappointing, considering that rc.conf and a really dumb bash script just works. The dhcp config is straight from the examples, the static one looks like this: CONNECTION='ethernet' DESCRIPTION='A basic static ethernet connection using iproute' INTERFACE='eth0' IP='static' ADDR='143.205.216.123' GATEWAY='143.205.216.255' DNS=('143.205.64.51','143.205.64.52','143.205.176.16','143.205.176.17')
Any ideas what's wrong?
I don't have time to look at this in the next few days, so please file bug report and it will not be forgotten.

Thanks Tom, I'll do so.

Try setting a NETMASK;
DEBUG: ethernet_iproute_up ip addr add 143.205.216.123/24 brd + dev eth0 Looks like netcfg is assuming a /24 netmask which makes 143.205.216.255 a net address (which ofc can't be used as a gateway)
Regards, Robin
Correction: 143.205.216.255/24 is a broadcast, not net address ;)
