Re: [Ltib] Using iproute(2)

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Jorge,

Make sure that /sbin/ip is actually from iproute2 and not the busybox
version.

Also check your syntax, I'm not sure if that's correct.  You can check
the LTIB iproute2 man page by looking at the rootfs NFS area:

nroff -man rootfs/usr/share/man/man8/ip.8 | less

Regards, Stuart
