   Here are my take aways.
   
   1. The configuration must follow Linux file location and naming of files and variables. 
   
   2. Boardctl API shall not be used.
   
   3. The netinit (net monitor) will read the information from files.
         It will use IOCTL/net helpers to set the values.
   
   4. ifconfig needs to be updated to support the thing nuttx can
   ```
   Usage:
     ifconfig [-a] [-v] [-s] <interface> [[<AF>] <address>]
     [add <address>[/<prefixlen>]]
     [del <address>[/<prefixlen>]]
     [[-]broadcast [<address>]]  [[-]pointopoint [<address>]]
     [netmask <address>]  [dstaddr <address>]  [tunnel <address>]
     [outfill <NN>] [keepalive <NN>]
     [hw <HW> <address>]  [mtu <NN>]
     [[-]trailers]  [[-]arp]  [[-]allmulti]
     [multicast]  [[-]promisc]
     [mem_start <NN>]  [io_addr <NN>]  [irq <NN>]  [media <type>]
     [txqueuelen <NN>]
     [[-]dynamic]
     [up|down] ...
   
     <HW>=Hardware Type.
     List of possible hardware types:
       loop (Local Loopback) slip (Serial Line IP) cslip (VJ Serial Line IP)
       slip6 (6-bit Serial Line IP) cslip6 (VJ 6-bit Serial Line IP) adaptive (Adaptive Serial Line IP)
       ash (Ash) ether (Ethernet) ax25 (AMPR AX.25)
       netrom (AMPR NET/ROM) rose (AMPR ROSE) tunnel (IPIP Tunnel)
       ppp (Point-to-Point Protocol) hdlc ((Cisco)-HDLC) lapb (LAPB)
       arcnet (ARCnet) dlci (Frame Relay DLCI) frad (Frame Relay Access Device)
       sit (IPv6-in-IPv4) fddi (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) hippi (HIPPI)
       irda (IrLAP) ec (Econet) x25 (generic X.25)
       eui64 (Generic EUI-64)
     <AF>=Address family. Default: inet
     List of possible address families:
       unix (UNIX Domain) inet (DARPA Internet) inet6 (IPv6)
       ax25 (AMPR AX.25) netrom (AMPR NET/ROM) rose (AMPR ROSE)
       ipx (Novell IPX) ddp (Appletalk DDP) ec (Econet)
       ash (Ash) x25 (CCITT X.25)
   ```
   
   5. It would be nice to have a writeable proc fs so that echo "192.168.96.1" > /procfs/eth0/ipaddr
