Most Linux users, or most users that this device is aimed at are

intelligent enough to do a

"ip addr add 192.168.0.200/32 dev usb0"

"ip route add 192.168.0.202/32 dev usb0"

This will only make two addresses on your network inaccessible. Then

you can SSH into it, and change the IP address. This takes a whole 5

minutes! It'll make you miserable to not have connectivity, I

understand, but just handle it.

We've finally standardized on a set of IPs, and -everyone- is happy

with it, except a few individuals who don't know how to use their

system.
Please stop complaining.

-Thanks
