[PLUG] Router configuration: connecting laptop [FIXED]

[Russell Senior]

FYI, with ip it is easy to set multiple addresses on the same interface. It
can be both 192.168.1.x/24 and 192.168.55.x/24 at the same time.

Of course, some daemon on the system might be helpfully removing your
changes for you.
