1) Is there something that already exists that I can use to generate the

2) If not, do I need to generate a UNIQUE entry?
3) If I need the UNIQUE entry, now can I generate it?
I do the networking config in a pre-install script (that outputs a
/tmp/profile/modified.xml file) and I don't have UNIQUE in there.

A sample networking session looks like:

  <networking>
    <dhcp_options>
      <dhclient_additional_options></dhclient_additional_options>
      <dhclient_client_id></dhclient_client_id>
      <dhclient_hostname_option>AUTO</dhclient_hostname_option>
    </dhcp_options>
    <dns>
      <dhcp_hostname config:type="boolean">false</dhcp_hostname>
      <dhcp_resolv config:type="boolean">false</dhcp_resolv>
      <domain>$DOMAIN</domain>
      <hostname>$HOSTNAME</hostname>
      <nameservers config:type="list">
        <nameserver>$DNS1</nameserver>
        <nameserver>$DNS2</nameserver>
      </nameservers>
    </dns>
    <interfaces config:type="list">
      <interface>
        <bootproto>static</bootproto>
        <device>eth0</device>
        <ipaddr>$IPADDR</ipaddr>
        <netmask>$NETMASK</netmask>
        <startmode>auto</startmode>
        <usercontrol>no</usercontrol>
      </interface>
    </interfaces>
    <managed config:type="boolean">false</managed>
    <modules config:type="list">
      <module_entry>
        <device>static-0</device>
        <module></module>
        <options></options>
      </module_entry>
    </modules>
    <routing>
      <ip_forward config:type="boolean">false</ip_forward>
      <routes config:type="list">
        <route>
          <destination>default</destination>
          <device>-</device>
          <gateway>$GATEWAY</gateway>
          <netmask>-</netmask>
        </route>
      </routes>
    </routing>
  </networking>

The variables above are replaced in the script with values passed
(HOSTNAME, IPADDR) or values gathered from the dhcp info (NETMASK,
GATEWAY, DNS*).
