it needed some days to find the right arguments, but i try to make it short:
dont implement 'ifconfig'. it's totally obsolete since nearly 10 years. nobody uses it anymore, even the manpage of 'ifconfig' shows this in big letters, it's so much restricted and doesnt know much about networking, it's a relict if the 1990's and must die. better make a stub of 'ip' and implement: ip link add/del/show ip address add/del/show ip route add/del/show ip neigh add/del/show ifconfig is so fundamentally wrong in architecture, thats not worth the work. for greybeards you can add a wrapper which translates every call to ifconfig/route/arp with a stderr output of "deprecated: use 'ip address show blabla...'". sorry for the hard words, but someone must say it 8-) bye, bastian _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list Toybox@lists.landley.net http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
