[Clfs-support] Unable to set up network interfaces

[Andreas Hofer]

Hi all,

I have one problem left with my CLFS Version SVN-20071210-x86:
Network interfaces are not started. Neither loopback nor eth0 work.

/etc/rc.d/rcsysinit.d/S80localnet gives following error:

"RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument"

After doing a "set -x" in the localnet script I see that it comes from
"ip link set lo up"

Is this a bug in ip or what else could it be?

Cheers,
Andreas
