Hello Ronny,

Currently there is no standard way to set those values in either 
Bering or Bering-uClibc. One option is to make an init.d script to 
set those values (with an entry for lrcfg). An other (preferable) 
option is to use sysctl and sysctl.conf to set the variables. The 
sysctl applet is not available in both brands unfortuanatly, but I 
will take a look for Bering-uClibc.
