[NFBCS] using a raspberry pi as a blind user

[Ty Littlefield]

That depends how many devices you have on the network. I have entirely 
too many sonos devices so it would've required I figure out which one 
was new manually. That's less than exciting. If you only have a few, 
it's not a problem. I also tend to like ignoring DHCP, setting the range 
to 05-100 and then creating static addresses for everything else. that 
way I always know what's what. I have a network map of each switch port 
and each IP address for individual devices that way.
