Network setiup

You can script a lot of parameters with "networksetup". The resource kit has a couple of baked scripts for various network settings that may already meet your needs. What specifically are you looking to configure?

For example.. I create images with just Ethernet 1 created. I've a script that finds the rest & enables.

Try this one

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/networksetup.8.html

Use that in scripts and you are good to go.

Here is a snip from my post image script that sets a few things

# # Now set some network preferences #

# require admin rights for ad_hoc creation

/usr/libexec/airportd en1 -ibss_admin 1

/bin/echo "adhoc networks require admin set"

# ensure that airport and ethernet are set to DHCP & set IPv6 off

/usr/sbin/networksetup -setv6off Ethernet

/usr/sbin/networksetup -setv6off Airport

/usr/sbin/networksetup -setdhcp Ethernet

/usr/sbin/networksetup -setdhcp Airport

# enable remote log in, ssh

/usr/sbin/systemsetup -setremotelogin on

# enforce clear text passwords in AFP

/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.AppleShareClient "afp_cleartext_allow" 1

/bin/echo "network configuration complete"
