Configure VMs inner parameters (IP, GATEWAY) directly from VirtualBricks
we can find a way to change the VMs configuration when the machine is turnedoff. An idea can be opening the image file and editing /etc/network/

Whiteboard
The interfaces file is only valid with debian or debian-based guest.
To cope with this problem, I usually configure network by putting the following in some startup file (like /etc/rc.local)
OMAC=`ifconfig eth0 | grep eth0 | sed -e "s/^.*HWaddr //g" | cut -d ":" -f 6`
MAC=`echo $OMAC |sed -e "s/^0//g"`
ifconfig eth0 192.168.30.$MAC
So the address part of the ip is taken from the last field in mac address (which can be specified in the GUI)
Another way to configure a whole network of clients using the same image is the old-good dhcp.. maybe with a fixed-macaddr leases mechanism.

Francesco: or maybe we can append to the kernel a string with -append qemu parameter.

Francesco: it's better to not merge the two layers, I'm closing this blueprint.
