Not answering your question, but I went along to the talk
(at 13:30) and was being charged €90 to enter. Do you
have to be rich to get access to this info or what, mutter...
At least I saw Sharon Ni Bheolain on the way in, so something
may be on News 2 tonight?

New Linux networking commands

ifconfig, route, mii-tool etc. are out of date
The new kids on the block are ip and ethtool.

ip link show                          #list interfaces
ethtool interface                     #list interface status
ip link set dev eth0 name home        #rename eth0 to home
ip addr add 1.2.3.4/24 brd + dev eth0 #add ip and mask(255.255.255.0)
ip link set dev interface up          #bring interface up (or down)
ip route add default via 1.2.3.254    #set default route to 1.2.3.254
