How can I have a static IP on one NIC and DHCP on the other?

How can I have a static IP on one NIC and DHCP on the other?

[Katherine Cox-Buday]

Is it possible to define an operating-system which runs DHCP on one NIC,
and has a static address on the other?

I'm getting:

guix system: error: service 'networking' provided more than once

if i try and define service for dhcp-client-service-type and
static-networking-service.

For a slightly different problem (adding a static ipv6 on the same
interface, [1]), I ended up creating a service that just did "ip
address add dev <device> <address>" on startup, and it seems to work.
Maybe you can do something similar? The "ip" program is from the
iproute package, defined in (gnu packages linux).

Hoping that it helps.
