In arpping.h, fix structure alignment of "struct arpMsg".
GCC can insert padding in the structure which causes udhcpd to send an
invalid ARP packet on the network. It will then not receive a valid
reply, which can cause it to assign an IP address that's already in use
on the network.
(With kernels before 2.4.20, the "struct ethhdr" in linux/if_ether.h
wasn't marked as packed. This is also an issue if your toolchain was
built with a pre-2.4.20 kernel).
Hi,
When downloading files over slow network (e.g. wireless/
internet) using IE, sometimes it will stop downloading and
show error message 'connection closed' when the download
is almost complete. This is because IE can't handle server
close connection properly.
Apache http_main.c fix this problem by close the connection
after client close the connection. This patch do exactly the
same thing. Please consider include this patch.

Hi,
Well, I made this patch a long time ago (08/2002) because it was a
need of a project, but had no time to send it to you. It adds support
to `autologin' option of the telnet protocol. It has been used since
made with busybox 0.60.3 at production and I had no problems with it.
I have ported it to the HEAD revision of the CVS server (20040211) and
I hope you enjoy and apply it to the official sources. :)
Thanks a lot!
The config file processing for inetd in busybox-1.00-pre7 and newer
is broken -- the saved command argv[] values overwrite each other.
Patch to fix it is attached.

Hi,
When httpd connection is closed, bosybox httpd will
not stop reading from CGI program. This patch fix this
problem. It check the return value of bb_full_write and
stop reading from CGI if the connection is closed.
Please apply this patch.

uuencode fails to encode binary data because it right-shifts
bytes as signed chars and keeps the duplicated sign bits.
The original base64_encode() from wget/http.c is broken as well,
but it is only used to encode ascii data.

function as there is no gracefull way of handling failures.
Rename bb_getport to bb_lookup_port, allow a default port to be
specified so it always returns a correct value.
Modify ftpgetput/rdate/wget to use the new interface.
wget/rdate now use etc/services with a falback default value.
Another issue I found was with the iproute utility. While using another
program I found that it failed because the "ip route del" command was
not found. I looked at the full iproute implementation and this command
exists. The busybox version has the "ip route delete" command. I have
created a patch which makes the "ip route del" command an alias to the
"ip route delete" command.
Hello,
I have been using busybox for some time now, for an ARM based platform.
I was very pleased when I tried the 1.00preX series, with all the new
utilities and daemons.
I found out that the ifupdown in busybox does not behave exaclty like
the debian version. Then the pre-up script fails, the interface is
getting up. Also when the post-up script fails the return value is
ignored. Actually everything is always run and the return value is
always true. I looked at the original implementation from debian and
fixed the busybox version to do the same. A patch is attached if anyone
is interested.
