Moins,

the actual lie-boot should already have IPAPPEND2 support  (means:
Supporting the BOOTIF kernel env variable).

In the past, I replaced the whole dhcp ipconfig in initramfs with udhcpc,
which works pretty well on my setup.
With ubuntu precise running fai 3.x.x I didn't apply any patches  to
support multiple nics...I have IPAPPEND2 enabled in pxelinux config and
bootif is supported by live-boot.

Regards,

\sh
