Hi,
the following output is from BusyBox 1.0.0-pre10:
~ # ip link help
ip: Command "help" is unknown, try "ip link help".
tk
This patch fixes it by removing the advertisements for
the "ip blah help" stuff that is not implemented.
I'm building BusyBox using a development kit for MontaVista Hardhat Linux
(PPC) -- which, at least in this instance, is based around kernel 2.2.14.
I've had to massage a few files in networking/libiproute/ to make it
compile. Specifically:
(1) Added a #include <sys/uio.h> for the iovec structure in
libnetlink.c,
(2) Put ifdefs in ll_types.c and ll_proto.c around various
constants (ETH_P_xxx and ARPHRD_xxx) that weren't defined,
(3) Make do_changename() in iplink.c require a kernel >=
2.4.0 -- the ifr structure in my environment doesn't
have the ifr_name attribute. I've assumed this is
a kernel dependency -- let me know if I ought to be
checking something else.
In the absence of the correct kernel, do_changename()
always returns 0.
Attached is a patch against the current CVS that will make these changes.
