I'm sorry for another continuation away from original patch discussion.

If actually not all network properties are really that harmful could you
please comment on others as well - this will save a number of iterations
on clean-up submission.

CONFIG_ETHADDR & CONFIG_IPADDR - it's simple - we don't want to have
duplicates of the same MAC or/and IP address within one network. So
definitely these ones must go away.

But others doesn't affect other devices in the network so why don't we
leave them as well?
