Ah. Looks like my brain is frazzled. I've given you the way it's done on
debian! Doh!

Ok. When using the TS supplied onboard image, you need to do

 /etc/init.d/network restart

to get the changes to happen. That script is a pretty standard sysV init
script and can be given the parameters stop, start, restart. This is the
script that gets run on boot up to set networking up.

sorry about that.
