Hi
After upgrading to busybox 1.8.2 I found that ifup does not handle
multiple tabstops in /etc/network/interfaces well.
auto eth11
iface eth11 inet static
address 192.168.211.36
netmask 255.255.255.224
broadcast 192.168.211.63
chameleon# ifup eth11
Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "192.168.211.36/4294967295".
chameleon# e100: eth11 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full duplex
auto eth11
iface eth11 inet static
address 192.168.211.36
netmask 255.255.255.224
broadcast 192.168.211.63
chameleon# ifdown eth11
Nothing to flush.
chameleon# ifup eth11
chameleon# e100: eth11 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full duplex
It appears the parsing algorithm has somewhat changed :-(, single
tabstops work.
This may come as a surprise to those considering an upgrade, without
serial access to a remote router all thats left is a nice ride in the car.
cheers
Erich
