Ok.

Copy /etc/ifconfig.wire.tmpl to /etc/ifconfig.sip0.  Then replace the
IP as above.

BTW, I recommend using /permanent/etc/mygate, instead.  The idea is that
we can create a new "extras" directory for the Homer configuration, put
/etc/ifconfig.sip0, /etc/internet-connected, and /etc/mygate in there,
and add it to builds with, say, './buildgeodeup -E homer-extras'.
