That would be cool.  Unfortunately this system is suse 10.1 based which is a 2.6.16 kernel
which seems to be missing such a parameter.  Rats.

Sniffing the ethernet shows 4 packets sent out at boot.  3 of these are called router
solicitation.  There is a sysctl variable for setting the number of these packets so I
might be able to set this to zero to at least only have a single packet come out at boot.

I'll check it out tomorrow.
