Hi

After upgrading to busybox 1.8.2 I found that ifup does not handle 
multiple tabstops in /etc/network/interfaces well.

auto eth11
iface eth11 inet static
         address         192.168.211.36
         netmask         255.255.255.224
         broadcast       192.168.211.63

chameleon# ifup eth11
Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "192.168.211.36/4294967295".
chameleon# e100: eth11 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full duplex

auto eth11
iface eth11 inet static
         address 192.168.211.36
         netmask 255.255.255.224
         broadcast       192.168.211.63

chameleon# ifdown eth11
Nothing to flush.
chameleon# ifup eth11
chameleon# e100: eth11 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full duplex

It appears the parsing algorithm has somewhat changed :-(, single 
tabstops work.

This may come as a surprise to those considering an upgrade, without 
serial access to a remote router all thats left is a nice ride in the car.

cheers

Erich
