I'm the first to admit my python skills aren't great, so I'm pleased to
see an improvements.

I really like seing the profiles on the CD as well as the system. This
allows me to carry out some diagnostics against the profiles if I screw
up the systems entries.
I'd be please to see what the code looked like to have a two level menu
- if only as a selfish learning exercise.

I think this is my poor understanding of how this works. I didn't want
to rely on dhcp either - I just couldn't workout how to append an IP
address.
This answers for me a problem I saw today.
Should the broadcast address be added as well? For completeness?
