Doesn't the guide already has this?

"""
 Code listing 4.6: Static IP Network Configuration

# ifconfig $IFACE $IPNUM broadcast $BCAST netmask $NMASK
# route add -net default gw $GTWAY netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1 $IFACE
"""

A little extra comment on my previous comment: using a domain name for a default route is not a good thing as your system could need the default route to resolve the domain name.

If you're talking about the first network-related section (maybe it just works), then the answer is "no", since the "maybe it just works" should have set the route and such already (it uses dhcp as far as i can tell).

I believe the guide contains enough information. I'm marking this as invalid, don't hesitate to reopen if you disagree.
