## Network Configuration
Add support for IP Fragmentation to the network stack used by RedoxOS
Improve Network and DNS configuration
### Details:
The purpose of this project is to add IP fragmentation support to the network
stack used by RedoxOS ([smoltcp]). This project will begin with adding basic support
for correctly processing fragmented IP packets in [smoltcp] as outlined in the upstream
issue [smoltcp#54]. After support is added in [smoltcp], the [netstack] implementation
should be updated to synchronize with any updates to the interface defined in the
upstream repository. If the project is finished early, work could begin on path based
MTU discovery.
The purpose of this project is to improve the user interface provided to configure
a network interface. This project will begin with adding better support for configuring
network interfaces and DNS nameservers as summarized in [netstack#19], [netstack#20],
and [netstack#21]. If the project is finished early, work could begin on adding
support to configure IPv6 addresses and DNS for IPv6.
### Expected Outcome:
The expected outcome of this project is that fragmented IP packets are able to
be correctly processed by the network stack used by RedoxOS.
The expected outcome of this project is that users are able to easilty configure
network interfaces.
### Skills Preferred:
Experience with network stacks and the [IPv4] and [IPv6] RFCs is preferred but
