I noticed that, but then, in the header of the busybox brctl.c file,
there's this:

/* This applet currently uses only the ioctl interface and no sysfs at
 * all.
 * At the time of this writing this was considered a feature.
 */

So I figured, when in Rome, act like the Romans :)

So, is the consensus that brctl should be rewritten to use /sys
exclusively ?

Thanks,
