Hello mailing list

I'm a bit confused about the patches for the busybox. Here the line of soekris/patches/busybox/Config.h-0.60.5:338 :

//#define BB_FEATURE_IFCONFIG_STATUS

This disables status information when call ifconfig eth0 or some other device. ifconfig only returns: "ifconfig: ifconfig was not compiled with interface status display support.". But etc/rc.d/init.d/wlan.i:21 needs status informations to get the mac adress: "hwaddr=`/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 | sed -n 's/.*HWaddr\(.*\)/\1/p'`".

Please fix it :)

regards
