Summary:                    ifupdown on non-existent interface segfaults,
busybox-1.3
Description: 
When running ifup on a non-existent interface (but configured in
/etc/network/interfaces) gives a segfault. Revision 16646 seems to
introduce the segfault.

Show your /etc/network/interfaces please.

Try attached c.patch and let us know whether that works

c.patch applied in rev 16994, waiting for feedback

The segfault is gone, but now the following message is displayed on every
interface:
"ifup: don't see to have all variables for ethx/inet"
(x is 0, 1, ..)

I think it's because of the "[[ ip ....%gateway% ]]". Removed extra spaces
w/o checking" change. But haven't tested it yet.

Just tested and the "don't seem to have all variables" problem is not gone
with reverting the "Removed extra spaces w/o checking" part (although I'm
not sure why you did that).
