I am ok with renaming the config and service files to gether-dhcp or the like. Let us know your opinion so we can collectively take a call on how to go about doing it.

All this needs to be modularized so people can mix&match, having a single big blob is not going to give a nice user experience. And as you might have guessed, I'm not too sold on including both the g_ether and gstorage in on package (they can share the same recipe, though).

I'll call Gerald and try to buy more time, but we need some more
concrete suggestions on how to make it clean.  I think this whole
g_ether --> g_storage experience is rather Bone specific and rather
integrated.  The best thing from my perspective is to be able to
easily replace it with more generic parts by disabling this whole
experience easily.

I'm DOA on Cloud9 right now anyway.  The one guy who was responding
has now stopped responding, so I'm going to e-mail a couple of
contacts there.
