Comment:
Ignoring the problem in the meanwhile is not a solution: There are still a
lot of packages, that use scripts that invoke either ip or ifconfig.
Providing this tools until netifd - or package interfaces to netifd -
support it, will use up space unnessarily.
I plea for dropping full or minimal iproute2 and ifconfig completely and
to resemble their functionality by busybox-ip (+all extensions) and to use
a wrapper for ifconfig to talk to either netifd directly or to translate
the calls to ip * commands.
BTW: Networking/Utils/iproute2 is referenced by some (wrongfully
depending) packages without checking for +!BUSYBOX_CONFIG_IP:ip
