Anything that actually depends on the running OS. Remember, when you're in chroot, you're running your newly-built (B)LFS binaries, but it's the host OS that's providing the kernel and everything associated with it (like networking). Trying to configure the network from inside the chroot environment is, well... unproductive at best.
