After building another HLFS system based on glibc and linux 2.6, again using
package users, the ip command is once again unable to bring up a link.
# ip link set eth0 up
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
# ip link set lo up
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
# ls /sys/class/net
eth0 lo
# ip link show
1: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:0c:29:a1:1e:4f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
2: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
However, I built and installed the old net-tools package (after fixing some
errors in the source). The ifconfig is able to bring up the interfaces:
# ifconfig lo up
# ifconfig eth0 up
[ 547.429973] eth0: link up
# ip link show
1: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:0c:29:a1:1e:4f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
2: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
Is there some necessary kernel configuration option that I've missed to make ip
work right? If that's not it, what does ifconfig have that ip doesn't?

Subject: network problems
Hello,
I've build an HLFS (glibc, kernel 2.6) system, with just the following
modifications:
- using kernel 2.6.19.7 instead of 2.6.19.2
- the package user system of package management
I need help figuring out why I can't bring up any network interfaces.
# ip link set eth0 up
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
# ip link set lo up
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
# ls /sys/class/net
eth0 lo
The build host was the LFS live CD, and the architecture is a VMware
Workstation 5 machine with the buslogic SCSI adaptor instead of LSI
Logic, running on an Intel Core Duo.
