Return a service that starts @var{interface} with address @var{ip}. If
@var{netmask} is true, use it as the network mask. If @var{gateway} is true,
it must be a string specifying the default network gateway.

+This procedure can be called several times, one for each network
+interface of interest. Behind the scenes what it does is extend
+@code{static-networking-service-type} with additional network interfaces
