Hi,

I depends on distribution.
In Mandrake, Redhat and maybe others you can preconfigure parameters for first 
bnep interface in file:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bnep0
File looks like this:
-----
DEVICE=bnep0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.100.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.252
ONBOOT=no
-----

bnep1 can look like this:
-----
DEVICE=bnep1
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.100.5
NETMASK=255.255.255.252
ONBOOT=no
-----

This is example for configuring many Point-to-Point BNEP connections.
IP 1 with 2, 5 with 6 etc...
You must have enabled routing in kernel.
For automatic enabling/disabling you must have functional hotplug.

If you want LAN with one big address space like 192.168.1.0
with mask 255.255.255.0, you must run bridge on your machine.
