I have done it but I am not sure I agree.  If no IPv4 network address 
specified, then IPv4 frame is not displayed.  If no IPv6 address is 
specified, then the IPv6 frame is not displayed.  IPv4 forwarding moved 
to the basic frame and IPv6 forwarding was added. Also added was the DNS 
Domain Name if it is specified.  Also, the Route-Via is now hidden if 
none is specified.

Be careful of what you ask for, you may get more than you wanted.

I have about six network definitions that I will be adding to 
testdriver.xml as a separate patch file.  These pretty much cover the 
various parameters.

I ran the test and something flashed by but I am not sure what that 
tells me.
