Add advanced network configuration page which describes setting up bridge with systemd networkd (and in future probably vlan and bonding) and adjust qemu to use it.

16 <title>Connecting to a Network</title>
17
18 <para>The LFS book covers setting up networking by connecting to a LAN
19 with a static IP address. There are other methods used to obtain an IP
20 address and connect to a LAN and other networks (such as the Internet).
21 The most popular methods (DHCP and PPP) are covered in this chapter.</para>
22
23 <para>DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol
24 used by many sites to automatically provide information such as IP addresses,
25 subnet masks and routing information to computers. If your network uses
26 DHCP, you will need a DHCP client in order to connect to it.</para>
27
28 <para>PPP stands for Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a data link protocol
29 commonly used for establishing authenticated IP connections over
30 a phone line with a modem, or over radio waves with a cellular phone. There
31 is also a variant (PPPoE) that works over Ethernet and is used by cable
32 providers to authenticate the Internet connections.</para>
