I have found messages from some years ago asking about the
possibility of giving examples how to configure LFS for use on IPv4

ipconfig.xxx file. I found references to this utility way back in
1983, so it looks very much outdated.
Also, finding references of what the content of ifconfig.xxx can be,
is very hard to find. And what has been found uses a slightly
different syntax then using under LFS.
Is it not time to switch to the use of something more up-to-date and
thus support IPv4 and IPv6?
Most of us still need the IPv4 protocol due to not migrated
(external) servers, but IPv6 is also increasingly needed.
We use iproute2 in LFS. We also install ifconfig in inetutils if you
want to use it. When configuring your ip address we use
/etc/sysconfig/ipconfig.IFACE, but that is only a file name.
You can use the same scripts for ipv6, but that is a bit more complex.
See the IPv6-in-LFS hint for that.

Thnx, It seems I was on my way and expected some extra work because of
the SERVICE parameter. Now at least I have an example.
