[wplug] Verizon Fios & static IP

The only problem with this is a MAC address bonding issues with your
ONT.  Verizon likes to "accidentally" enable this, but Verizon tech
support can release the bond on the ONT if you ask them sternly and
ignore their cries of "it's not neeeded."  The big symptom of it being
enabled is that your drop in replacement router or system won't get an
IP at all and your ONT box will possibly show an error light depending
on the model of equipment that they give you.  Thank you Tier 3 @
actiontech for helping me.
