Better match user expectations by allowing to download plain disk images and configure the IP settings afterwards on the target machine - then most likely leveraging DHCP. This works for the users with the most usual Ethernet adapter and settings - which are now pre-configured in default.cfg's. Only the few users with non-default Ethernet adapter and/or settings are required to download a custom contiki.cfg and inject it manually into their disk image files.
This additional application results in three disks for the Apple2, two disks for the C64 and one disk for the C128. Therefore the download page can't get along anymore without some JavaScript adjusting the number of downloadable disks depending on the selected machine. With JavaScript turned off access to non-existent disks (i.e. disk 3 for the C64) results in a successfull download of a zero byte sized file - not exactly great but at least a defined behaviour.
