I know you don't intend to extend the network daemon, but could at least the use of static IP without a gateway be implemented?

There are people that don't use the LAN for connecting to the internet.
This task depends upon

Despite being an uncommon use case, I think this is a fair request. It's also a +1/-1 patch.

@dave: looks good. I'll pull it if it is in your public repo.

it is, now!

If gateway is unset it will still fail with "Error: static address defined without gateway!"
And in network_down you can't delete route default if it wasn't set. AFAIK "ip link set dev $interface down" deletes all routes, too.

Oops. Needs more coffee... Yeah, you're right -- the ip link does bring down the route as well. Not sure why I left this in. My port from net-tools was probably a bit too 1:1.

still doesnt work, /etc/rc.d/network should not exit if the variable $gateway is not defined (it was actually a +2/-2 patch, hehe)

I'm bad at this. Ok, new patch pushed to github. I swear I tested it this time, using:

interface=eth0
address=10.0.2.240

# ip addr; ip route
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:12:34:56 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.0.2.240/24 brd 10.0.2.255 scope global eth0
10.0.2.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.2.240
