Comment:
Busybox is in openwrt's base files. The feature set of busybox-ip is
sufficient for a majority of setups.
Reporting and communicating dependency problems is a core task of a
distribution's development team.
Leave this ticket open until all devs from dependent packages have
reported a solution to this.
If a developer of a dependent package finds, that busybox-ip does not meet
his needs (what will not be the case in 99%; you can easily prove that
yourselves by egrepping the source for other usage that that provided by
busybox-ip with a full feature set). Please note, that there are
additional features in busybox-ip, that are too, not activated by default.
Another or even better solution would be to build a ip/ifconfig wrapper
script (that would even compress better in squashfs than a binary) working
with netifd only. Currently, the setup is redundant in multiple ways,
eating up precious flash space and likely to fail (as in olsrd-ignorant-
netifd some months ago...).
