This is MOST interesting. I'll put in support for IF#_BROADCAST before
I release.
Also, ifconfig is now available in busybox, though the busybox in Oxygen
does not contain it. The networking apps are coming back into busybox,
including tftp, telnet, ifconfig, route, and more...
I've been wondering if I should use these - except that the best route
for now is to use "ip" and that is the direction that Oxygen will be
going in. Has anyone tried using ip to configure these things up? Does
ip get things right?
I'd like to convert /etc/init.d/network to use ip instead of ifconfig
and route.
